Thanks for the advice about getting it checked by a reputable dealer. Any recommendations of one in Dublin (or failing that any where in Ireland, North or South) - would be nice to know for sure

Here is another pic where you can see its true colour, its not as detailed though. Ill let you know when I weigh it:)

Hi All, Thanks for your replies. The reverse is M B F ET H REX F D B ET L D S R I A T ET E. I will upload more photos but it is a really strong gold colour, which didn't translate in the photos. The best thing to do would be to weigh it and see if it is as it should be but might be a few weeks before I am back in my mothers house. Ill keep ye posted!

Thanks for your quick reply, gosh if it was worth anything near that my mum would be delighted! Also it would mean even if she didnt want to sell it she better keep it somewhere a bit more secure than where its kept at the moment. What does that number 3726 mean? Thanks again

Hi guys, Id appreciate any info on this coin. It was found in Ireland (by my granddad) but doesn't say 'Hibernia' on the back, so it was minted in England? Any idea what it is worth? It seems to be made of gold and is quite heavy. Sorry I don't know much about coins. On the back are the letters MBFETHREFXDBEFLOSRIATETE. Anyway Ive attached photos so you can see for yourself, Thanks Mary
