What is the value of a British Sovereign circa 1892 with a crowned head and obverse shield?
"Circa 1892" suggests an approximate date. Either it is, or it is not an 1892 coin.
The Jubilee bust (crowned) of Queen Victoria appears on the obverse of all British gold and silver coins for the period late 1887 to early 1893.
The only one of the Sovereign coinage of this period to have a shield on the reverse is the Half-Sovereign coin with a diameter of 19.3mm.
