If you refer to demonetised British decimal coins, some banks may accept them from account holding customers at face value, but they are under no obligation to do so.
Alternatively, you could hang on to them and give them to your grand children in years to come when they might be a novelty, or perhaps even worth something.
If you refer to current British Coins and you live in the UK, the bank will return them to the Royal Mint to be melted down.
I don't believe that any British coins have an Eagle on the reverse. The only coins that I know of that have eagles on the reverse are American coins.

British coins are different from all other coins because they are British coins. The coins of all countries need to be different so that we can tell them apart. What is legal tender in one country, is not legal tender in another country.
Coins returned to the Royal Australian Mint (RAM) because they are worn, damaged or mutilated, or coins that were minted surplus to requirements, are melted down and recycled into new coins if possible or applicable. The RAM does not deal directly with the public. Worn, damaged or mutilated coins should be deposited with a bank. The Bank will then make the necessary arrangements to get the coins back to the mint and out of circulation. Coins that are so badly mutilated or damaged that they cannot be identified will not be accepted.
There were 1,710,946 1892 British Halfcrown coins minted.
There are mis-struck coins in almost every series and date, but most damaged coins have been damaged after the minting process. Describe what you have and maybe we can tell you if it is a mint error.

Such a coins does not exist. All 1901 British coins featured Queen Victoria on the obverse. George V started appearing on British coins in 1911.
