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.

Maybe a half crown from England?

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.
