I don't collect these, but many years ago I picked up a tiny copper with lustre - on the obverse was a baby's head and the legend ALBERT PoW (which as we all know stands for Prisoner of War :D ), while on the reverse is the legend arranged in horizontal rows TWELVE PENCE MAKE 1 SHILLING. Can't help you much further I'm afraid, but I'm sure there are one or two here who know more?

Try a search on the major London coin auction sites (I think DNW in particular had a sale with a lot of trial strike pieces recently). Their archives usually have detailed descriptions and hammer prices together with pictures in most cases.
