The Imitation sovereign is one of 9 different sovereigns of 1887 by Lauer. The best reference to check which one you have is the book TOY COINS by David J de Sola Rogers( ref 507a-f,508,509). Hard to come by a copy and expensive at £85 but for £1.50 your library will get you a copy, probably the same one I borrowed. If you contact me I will see if I can email the appropriate page.
