ccg Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Sounds like it may be a jeweler's fantasy piece for use in jewelry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagerap Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 No gold coin of this weight was issued during Victoria's reign and the double headed (Hapsburg) eagle never featured on a British coin. I also believe this to be a jewllery piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrey5 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 There were many different jetons depicting Victoria with legend in English or Latin and Habsburg eagle (or a fantasy eagle on its basis). Here is one. Though it might look like gold to some, but is actually made of brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
