Now, I have come here because I can not find anything about this coin on the internet and like I said before, I really only know about US coins. So, on one side the coin date 1719 is located at the bottom of the coin, above the date there is a person who appears to be holding a torch and a spear, on one side it clearly says Britain, and on the otherside of the person it appears to say NIA. Now on the other side of the coin, like on most British coins, it looks like a picture of the queen (just her head) on one side it appears to say GEORGE IV (not real sure what it is after GEORG) and on the other side it says RBK. There are ridges outside of both pictures all the way around the coin. Just curious if anyone knows what this is and if they may know an approximate value or what I should do with it. Also, it is about the size of a modern day quarter if that helps any.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
