argentumandcoins Valued Member United Kingdom 60 Posts	Posted 05/18/2010 2:44 pm I'm no hammered expert but it appears to be a base metal copy of the first issue gold sovereign of Elizabeth I (1558-1561) Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 05/18/2010 7:10 pm The top image is upside down, the bottom one turned 90 degrees clockwise. It is a copy of Elizabeth I's fine sovereign (= 30 shillings), not extremely accurate though, especially on and around the queen. There's a number of discrepancies, I'd just like to mention the crown of the monarch not protruding enough into the legend and the complete absence of mintmarks. I believe this would be a fairly recent fantasy issue. Report this Post to the Staff
