Top points are worn, maybe VF to XF, Ballpark $25 I would think. It's a nice design!

It is from British North Borneo, also known as North Borneo, and now known as the Malaysian state of Sabah.

The British North Borneo Company, whose name and coat of arms appear on this coin, lost direct rule over British North Borneo when it became a Protectorate in 1888. The company retained presence and business in the colony after 1888, so I guess the Colonial authorities chose not to confuse the locals by redesigning the coinage.

I was ready to agree with @IGE on the grade, but check out this example that graded MS62, and let's hear opinions on whether yours lower, same or better grade.

I stick with my determination. The top points are worn, look at the leaves and compare to a mint state.
