[QUOTE="andyscouse, post: 1208344, member: 27100"]Looks like a sov by colour & inscription (bronze coins have the full inscription, but spell out FID: DEF, for example, so it's not one of those), but as moneyer says, we'll need the reverse details to be sure. If it contains George & the dragon with the date in exergue, it's a sovereign (or half-sovereign). Look also for a small letter between the middle two digits of the date above, under the horse. If none, it was minted in London. Other letters could be M=Melbourne, S=Sydney, P=Perth, C=Ottawa. A full sovereign contains 0.2354oz of gold, and a half sovereign half that amount.[/QUOTE]
