Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 03/04/2024 11:54 am Hello everyone, Found this in a collection today and it's hard to find a match since the text is so common to coinage. It is about 24 mm Any thoughts would be appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17890 Posts	Posted 03/04/2024 5:34 pm I've found a similar one in a dealer's junk box - they were probably produced for cheap jewellery as imitations of regal sovereigns and half-sovereigns.

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 03/04/2024 5:44 pm I agree with NumisRob. I've seen gilded versions in jewellers shops in France, Italy and Spain. I think they were made similar to genuine coins, but different to avoid being prosecuted for forgery. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 03/04/2024 8:12 pm With no date, it's not really a "commemorative medal". So I'd agree: a "costume jewellery" sovereign replica, intended for a necklace or earring, and not really trying too hard to convince anybody that it's a genuine sovereign. 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

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 03/05/2024 06:42 am It looks like a copy of a gaming token that was produced back in 1907-1916. The rider and horse are close to the original but the cape is different and riders right arm is in a slightly different location. Other subtle differences are: The dragon is different and the bridal lead is in a different location in the horses mouth. what is the weight of your token and the diameter? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia31732.html Collecting since 1972.

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 03/05/2024 1:30 pm The token is 22 mm and 3.22 g. I'm think I'm going to go with jewelry piece. Very very inexpensive jewelry piece. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 03/05/2024 1:56 pm thanks for getting back on the extra date. and probably a good decision to call it a simple jewelry piece.
