Your coin is believe to have been struck to commemorate the American Victory in the Revolutionary War. It is considered a Token. </p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Portrait bears a strong resemblance to England’s King George III, it is believe that this portrait was used because the creator of this token did not have a likeness of George Washington to work with. Inscription reads: GEORGIVS TRIUMPHO</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: Goddess of Liberty behind a framework of 13 bars and fleur-de-lis. Holding an olive in her right hand and staff of liberty in her left. Legend reads: VOCE POPOLI (“By the Voice of the People”) 1783.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
