<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 54328, member: 669&quot;]Welcome to the forum kaps.According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins (&quot;Krause&quot;), the only countries using the denomination&quot;centimos&quot; in the 19th Century were Peru and the Phillipines.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you describe is definiitely not a Phillipine coin, and I have been unable to find anything similar in the Krause listings for Peru.&nbsp; It is probably a trade token, and most likely a silver alloy.&nbsp; The obverse legend translates as &quot;100 pieces in a kilogram, 10 centimos&quot;; and the reverse says &quot;10 grams&quot;.&nbsp; If it is silver, the bullion value is about $2.25.&nbsp; Without clear pictures there is no way to evaluate its numismatic value, but unless it is outstanding uncirculated condition, with lots of luster, its probably only worth its bullion value.That one&#039;s easy.&nbsp; &quot;Victoria, by the grade of God Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India&quot;, with her bust on the obverse, and a date and denomination on the reverse with no country name on the coin can only be KM#790, a bronze penny with her &quot;veiled bust&quot;, and a statue of Brittania, the symbol of Britain, holding her trident on the reverse.&nbsp; There were 24,147,000 minted, and their current value ranges between a few cents in identifiable condition, to $28 uncirculated, or $325 in the very unlikely event that you have a proof coin in pristine condition.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Edited to add</b>:&nbsp; After seeing Baddspellar&#039;s post, I&#039;m glad I said &quot;according to&quot; Krause centimos was only a Peruvian or Phillipine denomination. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin is copper, KM#Y54, with a catalog value of $2 Fine to $125 uncirculated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
