Was This Ever Used As Currency In Great Britian?

I need a pic of the reverse to give you a definitive answer

Looks like a World War 1 medallion and not a coin.

To the best of my knowledge these were never hung on a ribbon or had a hole in them.
I an also pretty sure that they are Stirling silver as well

And there I was thinking this was just a War medallion and not a Service Medal.
That is so cool, Far better than any Crown

I did not mean to ask, if it was intended to be spent. Just wondering
if maybe some had tried to do it, like some might do with a counterfeit
coin.

As far as weight, the weight I keep seeing online is 34g. I believe that
is with the holder. This medal weighs 27.9g. Very close to the 1902 crown
at 28.2g. I do agree about the hole, the ones I have seen online the hole
looks smaller. Of course the diameter is smaller 36mm vs 38.61.

I was just thinking it is close enough to weight, that in some dark pub some soldier
might have tried passing it off as a Crown.

Then ... for me it is just deciding which box to put in after I 2x2 it.
GB coins ... or tokens/medals.
