Kilian New Member United Kingdom 8 Posts	Posted 03/10/2021 09:21 am Hi everyone - I am new here and very happy to be here. I have this pendant and cannot work out what this coin is. I think it is commemorative of some kind. To one side is a four part shield which has been enamelled and has Anno 1936 to the bottom. To the rear it has a Victorian head and the text -- Victoria de Gratia Britanniar Reg Fide . Can anyone help? 1936 is not a centenary so I was puzzled. Any help gratefully received!

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17951 Posts	Posted 03/10/2021 10:11 am Hello and This is strange - the obverse looks like a Young Head (1838-87) Victorian threepence, sixpence or shilling but the enameled shield reverse is more like a William IV coin - but the date of 1936 is completely wrong. Please could you give the exact diameter in millimetres? My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 03/10/2021 11:58 am It looks to me like the reverse is engraved and enameled. Whoever did it appears to have reengraved the date as well- perhaps it was 1886? Edited by Numisma 03/10/2021 11:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

tokenscot Valued Member United Kingdom 82 Posts	Posted 03/12/2021 05:50 am Looking at the picture it does appear to be a normal QV young head sixpence that has had the reverse mostly re-engraved. It's possible that the crown at the top is from the original sixpence. I deskewed the image to compare with a genuine sixpence but there is not enough detail to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff
