I have looked online but am unable to find the coin, it says on it... victoria dei gratia britanniar reg f d ... and on the back it says one dollar.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome too Coin Community!

The reverse design is a Trade dollar with no date, and the obverse looks like a gothic Victoria. I will keep looking, for a match.

Well, the obverse seems to be modeled after the 1847 Victoria Gothic Crown, but the reverse is completely wrong. I'm going to guess this is a fantasy piece.

Right it appears to be described in this link http://taxfreegold.co.uk/patternsov...sonebay.html it's the one priced £60. However let me find the actual coin somewhere to be 100%, and hopefully someone else will chime in with there advice/help/opinion. :)

I can't find a copy of the coin, but the link above seems to identify the coin pictured rather well. As mentioned above unfortunately it is a fantasy piece, and the price mentioned is what the seller was asking for. Not an indicator of true value, the example is what the seller was listing in their description.

Hope this helps, and I hope you didn't pay much for it.

+1 w/ Barry. This seems to be a curious combination of incongruous &/or incompatible elements. When the authorities weigh in on this one, my bet is it'll be judged to be a fantasy piece.

I saw something similar to this a while back. Not exactly the same, and definitely not what you have, but close. This is where the maker probably got the design, though.

Like someone already mentioned, I also believe it's a Trade dollar or, more precisely, a copy of one. Maybe a fantasy piece found in Krause's Unusual World Coins. Here's a pic:
