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. Report this Post to the Staff

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 Report this Post to the Staff
Michael W DeSilva New Member Bermuda 19 Posts	Posted 05/27/2012 07:01 am 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.
