p1987 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have a gold coin of my mothers here which states: Front: GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA 1826 (The image looks like a Greek middle aged man). Rear: BRITANNIARUM REX FIDEI DEFENSOR (The image appears to be a lion stood on a crown with flowers underneath). Much apprciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazinta Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 It's a George IV British coin, though a picture might be useful to put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazinta Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I am also unable to upload images, so try using the site omnicoin.com. It's good for displaying your collection on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Depending on the size it's either a sixpence or a shilling. Since those are normally silver, your piece is likely a genuine one that has been gold plated, or a brass forgery with the silvering worn off.

p1987 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have bow uploaded the coin to my collection on omnicoin.com. The reference of the coin is George IV British coin. I would say it was just over 2 center meters. Information on this would be appreciated. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I don't have a reference handy, but probably £5 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1987 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Appreciate the information ccg but £5 or so? This was given to my mother by a person she cared for and, As I was told was found "in a golden ceramic casing", which leads me to believe it may be worth more? Regards.
