NO Q4 Is this thing listed under emergency coinage on Numista? NO Q5 Was this coin issued in the Australian colonies, before it became "Australia"? MAYBE Q6 Is this thing over 175 years old?

The pub! The nerve! We didn't get the memo! Have fun.
trig, I have 1812, not 14. So, must be UK minted. Your the local down there trig, what can you come up with. Or am I not letting go of the Aussie hint.

OK fixed that. Before 1813.
U.K. coins were used in Australia before we had our own coins, so I'm not sure of the MAYBE answer. I think we just about accepted any coins in the early colonial days. Coins were even found on an island in Australia dating back 1000 years from East Africa. Hence my line of questioning.

I think we will have to narrow down the date range and denomination.
