From Coinquest:</p><p><br /></p><p>George III was King of England from 1760 to 1820 (he was King during the American Revolution), so the 1700 date on Darrell&#039;s piece is a stretch. This is not a coin, but a token, or jeton. It does not appear in the coin catalogs, but one can find these online if you are persistent. Here is what Sven Andersson says (translated from Swedish) on <a href="http://www.ungafakta.se/panelen/?sida=15andpanel=mynt" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ungafakta.se/panelen/?sida=15andpanel=mynt" rel="nofollow">Unga Fakta</a>:</p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;It is a game of money, a copy in brass of George III (King of England) gold coins. It was used as a chip in various card games and board games. It produced quite a few of them and spread to various countries.&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
