Maybe a V?

 

Has to be a "V"

 

V

 

The V for Victoria is way different, though.

 

It doesn't matter. According to the rules of Roman numbers, the only two possibilities are V and I, and it's not an I.

 

So it's 1864?

 

Yes, it is. You left out one C in your post, but obviously you've read it correctly off the coin.

 

Gothic florins in that shape are not worth much over melt; it's sterling, 0.3364 ounce. It's also the most common date of its type.

 

I paid going rate on eBay. I've wanted one cheap for years, and one finally turned up out of a dealer's booth.

A decent is example is over $150

 

That is a "capital" V.
