From 1797? They would be very valuable. However, with coins, it is all about condition and rarity. You would need to consult an expert to determine the value of the coin. 1792 is the first year the US coined money.
Alexander Silver died in 1797.
The only British copper coins minted in 1797 were the Cartwheel Penny and the Cartwheel Twopence. They were referred to as "Cartwheel" coins because of the distinctive rim around the edge of the coins giving the appearance of a cartwheel. Exact mintage figures can only be guessed at since the mintage for 1797 was referred to in tons of coins. There was a combined mintage of 5 tons of British Penny and Twopence coins minted in 1797. These were the first British copper coins to have been minted in over 20 years. The 1797 Penny weighed 1 ounce or 28.35 grams. The 1797 Twopence weighed 2 ounces or 56.7 grams.
You do not specify which type of coin. In 1797, you have the following possibilities for George III British coins - Guinea - gold, about 25mm in diameter Half-Guinea - gold, about 20mm in diameter. Third-Guinea - gold, about 17mm in diameter There were no silver coins minted in 1797. Twopence - (known as a "cartwheel" coin) - copper, 41mm in diameter Penny - (known as a "cartwheel" coin) - copper, 36mm in diameter And that is about it for offically minted British coins in 1797. Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced. Many of these tokens bear a resemblance in size and metal to the official coinage of the period.
It is only worth the value of the metal it is made of so if it is made of silver it is worth something. If it's fake then it has no collector value.
