Queen Victoria Coin 1869

[derekpara]

Please can anyone identify the denomination of this Victorian coin of 1869 ?

It seems to be made of bronze with the date 1869 beneath the youngish queen's head and 1837 ( start of her reign) under what appears to be a mounted crowned George & dragon.

It is 7/8" (23mm) in diameter with a milled edge. Denomination is not shown. Very good condition with clear markings.

I thought milled edges were only on silver coins of 3d and above.

Thanks

Could it be a gold sovereign?

Is this it para? Commemorative coin 1837 to Hanover..

It's not a gold sovereign, bhg.

I think you've solved it Togo, although my coin does not display the words' To Hanover' it is identical in every other way. One seller on ebay says it is silver, with a price tag of nearly £70 !

Thanks to you both.
