NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17985 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 04:57 am Interesting... I wonder if it's been mounted at some stage as a piece of jewellery. It looks as if there could be traces of gilding on the obverse. Perhaps it was soldered into a ring to look like a half-sovereign?

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 11:15 am I would go for the cufflink. I have seen many coins made into these in the past by soldering a tag onto one side. I guess someone has cut your tag off to try to restore it to coindom! Report this Post to the Staff
