I have a coin that has this on it:
Honi.Soit.oui. maly pense
on the front it has queen victoria with crown
around the coin it says britt:regina victoria dei gratia
dated 1890
on the reverse side:
picture top left: looks like coat of arms with 3 lions vertical
picture top right: lion standing on hind legs
picture bottom left: female with wings and harp
picture bottom right: 3 lions vertical


Can anyone tell me where the coin is from and if there is somewhere or some site we can see if it is worth something.

Welcome to CP one thing that is going to happen here is we need a picture.

Maybe a half crown from England?

That is a nice looking coin.

You should recheck the date on your coin as this "Old head" design was minted from 1893-1901. Victoria was on the 1890 but the design was different.
