[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 36053, member: 669"]Welcome aboard Kevin.Can you post a picture? If not, can you at least give us the dimensions? Without a date or denomination it is probably - but not necessarily - a medal of some type. If it is a coin, it would have been the size and metal that would have fixed its value. If it contains a portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, it would have to date from the mid to late-16th Century. If the portrait is of the later Queen Mary, wife of King William, it would date from 1589-94. The Standard Catalog of World Coins begins coverage with its 17th Century volume, so it is of no assistance with determining whether there was any coinage depicting the first Queen Mary. Valuing such a coin, if it is genuine, is a job for an expert on coinage of that era; but as with any other coin, its condition would be a major factor, so again - can you post a picture of both sides? We do have a Scotsman on the forum, so if Ian should happen across your inquiry he may have something constructive to say.[/QUOTE]
