what have we here
Sir William
I can see, just reading a few of these topics, that I am amongst exalted
company here, so this probably going to make me look like a muffin...but
I have this coin with which I could do with some help.
It is - or claims to be - a one dollar piece - it looks gold but
probably isn't, it is encased in a plastic presentation disc (which can
be opened) inside a presentation box, and so is in mint condition.
On one face is a bust of Queen Victoria and the words "Victoria del
Gratia Britanniar. reg.f.d)
The other face shows Britannia with the shield and trident with a ship
in the background with the words "One Dollar" around her. There is no
obvious reference to a date anywhere, which is what makes me a bit
uneasy about it being a genuine coin.
If anyone can give me any help regarding the date, value etc of this
item I would be very grateful.
Cheers all.....

Sir William,
Does it look something like this?

If so, Billy's right on--it's a British Trade Dollar. It should
weigh just a bit under 27g.
take care,
Scott

A conclusion is simply the place
where you decided to stop thinking.

Umm ... he said no date and one side has likeness of Queen Victoria.
Do trade dollars have that?
