You do not specify a particular coin. The quality of the minting and the design on the coin. Assuming it is a British coin, the back and the front should be perfectly aligned, ie. the top of both sides should be in the same place with reference to the edge. The diameter and weight of the coin.

What is the value of a 1908 silver Eduardus VII coin it has a man on a horse on the back we found that the Fitzwilliam Museum has a similar coin of 1911 listed as a toy coin?
Except for the year and the unusual spelling of Edward, you are describing a sterling silver Crown (Five Shilling) coin. The man on the horse is possibly St. George in the act of slaying a dragon. The only Edward VII Crowns to be minted were dated 1902, the year of his Coronation. The coin/token/medallion is most likely a souvenir from the 1908 London Summer Olympic Games which were opened by King Edward VII. They were produced in quantity and possibly have very little value.

Why was the original Australian 50 cent coin changed?
The original Australian 1966 50 cent coin was made from 80% silver, and after the steep increases in the price of silver in the 1960's, the silver in the coin was worth more than the coin. It took only three 50 cent coins to make one ounce of silver. The coin was no longer cost effective to produce. The 1967 issue was halted and the coins melted down. The next, and all subsequent Australian 50 cent coins were dodecagonal and made from cupro-nickel. The change in shape was to make them more distinguishable from the slightly smaller 20 cent coin.
