All Sovereign coinage issued by the Royal Mint since 1817 is 22 carat gold. These include the Five Pound (Quintuple Sovereign), Two Pound (Double Sovereign), Sovereign, Half-Sovereign and, in 2009, the Quarter-Sovereign.
It will be either a British Sovereign or Half-Sovereign.
It is quite possible. These coins are a target for forgers. The 1893 Two Pound (Double Sovereign) coin should show the "Old veiled bust" of Queen Victoria on the obverse and St. George slaying the dragon on the reverse. The inscription should read - "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP" The coin is made from 22 carat gold and should weigh 16 grams and be 28.4 mm in diameter. If in doubt, take your coin to a reputable coin dealer for examination.
"Victoria dei gra britt regina fid def ind imp" appears in one form or another on all British coins issued during Queen Victorias reign. Sometimes half of the legend appears on the reverse of the coin. The "IND IMP" was added to coins around 1893 when India became part of the British Empire. What does your coin appear to be made from? Are there any dates on it? What is the diameter of the coin? What are the three initials? Does the side with the initials have anything on it other than the initials? It is possible that your coin is a military medal, a medallion or a token.
Check your coin again. Queen Victoria died in 1901.
Such a coin does not exist. Queen Victoria died in 1901. The legend "Victoria-dei-gra-britt-regina-fid-def-ind-imp" does not help identify a coin. It could appear on any British or British Empire coin issued from 1838 to 1901. You need to describe the design on the coin, the metal it appears to be made from and the diameter. Coins dated 1951 would have George VI on them. If you do indeed have a Queen Victoria "coin" with 1951 on it, it may well be a souvenir token commemorating the 50th anniversary of her death.
That motto appears on ALL British and British Empire coins of the time and (with variations for each monarch) is still used today, so it doesn't help to ID a specific coin. Please post a new question with the coin's country of origin.
Such a coin does not exist. Queen Victoria was not born until 1819 and did not become queen until 1837. King George III was on the throne in 1800.
There was no 1886 British Two Pound coin minted. During the reign of Queen Victoria, they were only minted in 1887 and 1893.
I imagine this to be a coin set in a mount on a ring, but the description is incomplete. If it is a coin it is probably a sovereign. Modified coins have no collector value.
Victoria reigned for about 60 years and there were about a dozen different coin denominations struck so you need to be a lot more specific. Please post a new question with the coin's date, denomination, and condition.
That motto is on ALL British coins so it doesn't help to ID a specific coin. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination and an estimate of how worn it is.
You are the second person to ask about an Australian coin that, in theory, should not exist. Can you provide any more detail about your coin?
