It's not a coin. It's a cheap tourist token of little value, maybe 1-2 quid. Probably Pobjoy or Franklin mint.

Couple of quid at most.

If it’s not gold then most likely little to nothing (£5 maybe?).


tayhorix

so it has to be real gold just for it to value?

Coins have many potential values. First and most obvious is whatever face value they have. Second is whatever instrinsic value the metal they are made from holds. Third is the value to a collector, based on their rarity and condition. And last is whatever sentimental value they might hold to the person that owns them. This coin looks like some kind of exonumia token, presumably made of brass (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia174333.html). As a token it has no face value. Made of brass it has no intrinsic value. To a typical coin collector it is probably worth very little as it is a recent token probably made in large numbers.

Yes , or a circulated coin . Lower the mintage the rarer it is . This is a commerative token and not an actual coin

Pretty much. Most commemorative coins aren’t worth much, if anything, unless they’re silver or gold. Then it has the metal value vouching for it. I haven’t been able to find this coin from a quick google search though. So double check before you do anything with it.

But he paid £3.00 for it !!!


tayhorix

It's not a coin, it's just a piece of brass in a round shape. Sorry dude, but it's never likely to be valuable, as the other commentor said - 1) it's not a proper coin 2) it's made of a common material 3) it was mass produced and not really desirable to collectors. If you like it, great! Hold onto it and enjoy it, but don't expect it to ever be worth anything.


[deleted]

I wouldn't hold high hopes for it to be honest bro.


Silverdunks

£1.50
