I have this coin here dated 1837.

On the fron is a profile of Victoria.
On the rea:
It is inscribed TO HANOVER underneath a male on horse over what looks like a "dragon".
However on the top of coin it has been holed posibly to be worn on necklace or bracelet, shown in photos.

What is the value of this coin does anyone know, or indeed anything about it?

It's not a coin. It's a card-game counter, with a political message. This thread has all the details.

As for the hole, it's possible it was used in some kind of cheap jewellery. It's also possible a shopkeeper was sick and tired of receiving these "coins" in the till and nailed one to his reference collection of counterfeit coins to remind himself to be on the lookout for them. The token in the earlier thread has a crudely punched hole as well, so it seems to have been a common fate of these pieces.

These sorts of counters typically sell for a few dollars each; ones with holes in them probably for less.
