I wondered if anyone knew what it was, I've attached a photo, and can tell you that its about 17mm across. It seems to be in really good condition, except for being mounted in the necklace. Thanks Nick Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 6:27 pm Sorry, but this is not an actual coin of Queen Victoria. The denticles around the rim are wrong for any coin of that period and the portrait is quite the wrong shape; compare it with this threepence, for example. I presume what you have is a coin-like medal, specifically made for being put into jewellery. It probably does not date from the time of Queen Victoria, either. I would not recommend trying to remove it; all you'll end up with is two pieces of broken jewellery. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
