Guest martine Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 i have a coin which looks like a tiny queen victoria jubilee sovereign could anybody please tell me what it is. it is dated 1887, or so my daughter tells me - her eyes are better than mine. i look forward to getting a reply. martine Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Is it silver or gold coloured?If it's silver it could be a small silver denomination. If it's gold it's most probably toy money.Can you post a picture?Thankyou,Chris Quote
Guest martine Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 hello chris.the coin is gold and sorry have no photos of it - scanner not working and if i take them with my phone there is not enough detailmartine Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Does it show the Queens Jubilee head (crowned), and what is written on it? What is the diameter in mm, and does it feel heavy like gold, or is it probably brass?Chris Quote
Guest martine Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 yes she is wearing her crown. it is 12mms in diameter. and i cant see the writing on it as it is too small. it has george and the dragron on the back Quote
Sylvester Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 yes she is wearing her crown. it is 12mms in diameter. and i cant see the writing on it as it is too small. it has george and the dragron on the back 12mm hey? Well it's no sovereign/half sovereign as it's too small.I don't know what it is i'm afraid. Have you any ideas Chris? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Probably a small toy money coin, made for novelty purposes or for children to play with. Without knowing what's written (the legend should include the makers name) I cannot be sure.Chris Quote
