G'day, never seen one of those before.
The obverse is sumular to a "Young Head", but the head-dress is quite distinct. Does that effigy have a specific name ?

Reverse is fascinating also: 2 dollars [=] 200 cents [=] 100 pence. Does that imply that 2 NFL dollars was worth a little under 1gbp ?

What weight, diameter ?

I'm putting together a set of all the portraits of Queen Victoria, and I'm focussing on 1887. Was this coin also minted in 1887 ?

And it's a very nice looking coin, too.

Thanks for the review.
The coin weights in at 3.3 grams and about 18 mm in diameter.
Unfortunately it was not minted in 1887

Yes, I would have to agree that this is an AU. A very nice looking coin though.
