tubandpud Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I was hoping to post images, but didn't succeed. Pictures are on my computer, but I don't know yet how totransfer them to the forum.This 'coin' I have is only 1/2 inch (12mm) diameter. Silver colour, thin metal, magnetic.Rev. is dated 1887 - has four shields, same as the 1887 florin. Although enlarged photo, I can't read lettering.Obv. has Victoria Jubilee bust. the word NURNBERG visible on right side. Lettering on the left not so clear -possibly L:CBF.LAUEH. I have asked under British coins because of Victoria's head. Thanks. Quote
Geoff T Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Your 1st query.What you have here is a toy coin from one of the sets made by Lauer in Germany in the 19th century. They were produced as educational toys and are not uncommon.Geoff Quote
