Try the National Archives at Kew. The HM Coastguard have since its formation fallen under the control of a variety of Government Departments, so you may have to try a number of differing headings. From memory they were initially the responsibility of the Admiralty then the Board of Trade and most recently the Dept. of Transport. You say your medal is from the Victorian period so on that basis any medal role records will be at Kew. Best of luck.
