I am posting in two threads to hopefully get the correct folks to get an opinion. The coin is a 1838 Victoria (young head) with a soldier and a lion (it is definately a lion not a serpent or anything like that). I have searched the internet extensively and found almost zero on this particular coin. Is there anyone out there who has any information on this coin?
1873 Medal as it turns out So if I understand correctly, this is a medal (not a coin) produced around 1873 commemorating Victoria. Second question is this item has any monetary value to a collector?
Unfortunately, your medal has some damage as you can see. Full rim is missing and the main devices are well worn. I hesitate to suggest a value as I am uncertain of the number of survivors and conditions.
Yes it will have a value to a medal collector, people do like to collect coronation medals and other Royalty medals. It is a bit hard to say what yours would be worth from my own point of view I would possibly go up to about £4 for it if I seen it on ebay, but that is based on the pic provided. Is there a makers name or mark on it?
