Coin, or What ?

Recommended Posts

I was hoping to post images, but didn't succeed. Pictures are on my computer, but I don't know yet how to

transfer them to the forum.

This 'coin' I have is only 1/2 inch (12mm) diameter. Silver colour, thin metal, magnetic.

Rev. is dated 1887 - has four shields, same as the 1887 florin. Although enlarged photo, I can't read lettering.

Obv. has Victoria Jubilee bust. the word NURNBERG visible on right side. Lettering on the left not so clear -

possibly L:CBF.LAUEH. I have asked under British coins because of Victoria's head. Thanks.

Your 1st query.

What you have here is a toy coin from one of the sets made by Lauer in Germany in the 19th century. They were produced as educational toys and are not uncommon.
