Is This Worth Anything?

It's a token or card counter of some sort, made to resemble a British gold "spade" guinea. Some were made as counterfeits, to deceive. Others were simply card counters or play money, often with a legend like yours, OR "IN MEMORY OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS". It may even have been manufactured with the hole already there, and sold as a cheap souvenir medallion. Worth a couple of dollars to a token or curio collector.

As to the florins, ebay is one possibility. You could always haul them off to your local coin dealer if there's one in your area. You might get more for them on ebay, you might get less, but you won't have the hassle of shipping such a heavy parcel. If you take them to a dealer, might be best to sort them, at least into 1946-and-earlier and 1947-and-later piles, to save them the effort of separating the silvers from the cupronickels.

That was a silver crown, not a sovereign - sovereigns are small, made of gold, and don't have lettering around the rim.

What's the date on this second coin? Crowns of the 1887-1892 period have the "Jubilee head" (with a tiny crown perched on top of her head) and no regnal year around the rim. There were also 4-shilling or double-florin coins during the same period, which are only slightly smaller than the crown, but they don't have the St-George-slaying-dragon design.

I believe something like "counter" or "evasion" is the technical term, but most folks selling them would proabbly just call them "coins". If you did a search for "guinea" you might find a few being sold as real guineas.

They probably should only sell for a few dollars; I can't see anyone paying more than that for one, unless it had a particularly notorious story to go with it.

I'm at work again at the moment; I'll look up the CV for an 1892 crown for you when I get home (unless someone else wants to beat me to it?)

Thanks Sap
