there was another one of these a few weeks ago. There were several responses. I suggest that you trawl recent threads in this sub-forum.

The arrows are what some of us call "broad-arrows" which were used by British & colonial governments to mark government property.
In Australia, the Defence Force still uses it.

Or as we in the army would have colloquially called it the 'Crows Foot.'

How much does it weigh, Michael?

I have a somewhat daft thought, that perhaps it could be some sort of a rudimentary weight. That is, if by the grace of the Gods' it weighs four grams, the 'G' is a unit of measurement and the four broad-arrows hence serve a dual intention.


Kind regards,

Marcus

Thanks folks,
I don't know how much it weighs to be honest. I am new to this world of coins and learning from all of you here. I don't own any scales so I will have to buy one in order to weigh it. During my search for information on this coin I have discovered that I am quite interested in coins (something I never knew before coming to this website). Now I find myself looking at the dates and the quality of all the change I receive and instead of just tossing it all in a container on my dresser, now I sit at my computer and investigate each coin. It's very addictive. I'm giving up on this particular token for now. I will weigh it when I get something to weigh it on but other than that, all the evidence points to it being a UK token of no value other than possibly as a museum piece. Thanks again and take care. Michael
