Sovereigns were only struck in gold and not silver. The coin you have is more likely to be a crown (St George and the Dragon on the back) which has been enamelled. hard to value but around £20 - £30 (just the silver content alone is worth £15.50 at today's prices 13.8.2012)

How do you identify coin with young Victoria and George and dragon dated 1886?
If it is dated 1886, with a young Victoria on the obverse and the George and the Dragon design on the reverse, it will be a 22 carat gold Sovereign. The Half-Sovereign coin did not feature George and the Dragon until the second half of 1893. The Half-Sovereign is 19.3 mm in diameter, the Sovereign is 22.05 mm in diameter. The 38.6 mm diameter sterling silver Crown coin did not feature George and the Dragon until 1887. If this does not identify your coin, you possibly have some sort of commemorative token or medallion.
