Guest James Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 I wonder if someone would be good enough to identify two coins for me.One is silver couloured, 1 inch diam, with a Queen Victoria veiled head on one side and on the reverse a young woman's head with a bun hairstyle and latin writing to either side of the head. It is dated 1837.The other is copper coloured, 7/8ths of an inch in diam. One side has a large V with the letter O entwined on one arm and the letter C entwined on the other. At the outer rim between the arms of V is an X with a star each side. The date under the V is 1754. The reverse sid ehas a large shield with a crown over and a lion rampant rising from three wavy lines.I would be most grateful for any advice you can give me Quote
Chris Perkins Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 James,The first one sounds like the official Diamond Jubliee Victorian medal. With a young head on one side and the veiled head on the other. Dated actually 1897 and worth a fiver or more depending on exact condition and size.You'll need to register and submit a phote for the second one as it remains a mystery to me.Thanks,Chris www.predecimal.com Quote
