This one looks like it might be British? Or some British colony or protectorate. The obverse shows a bust, presumably of King George V, along with some latin text "Georgivs V D.G. Britt:OMN:Rex F. D. Ind: Imp:" I think I got the punctuation right. What's with all the colons? It bears the date "1916" on the reverse, along with a big number "3" under a crown. This coin appears to be toned silver, with ablum toning (darker at the edges). Obverse side: Reverse side: Does anyone have any clues for me about this one? This coin is a bit smaller than a US Dime. The photos show a ruler (scaled in inches) and a Roosevelt dime to allow everyone to see the size and scale of this coin. Weight is about 1.4 grams on my digital scale. Report this Post to the Staff

John Galt New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 03/29/2011 09:05 am Thanks. That's exactly what it is. I have no idea on grading world coins. This one is toned a bit dark on the obverse, and not so high in "eye appeal." Still, all the text is present, and the edges aren't horribly worn. I might list it somewhere for $2.99 and see if I get any bites. Report this Post to the Staff
