On the side with Queen Voctoria (older version) the inscription around the edge is :

VICTORIA D : G : BRITT: REG: F : D :

On the other side there is a knight on horse back slaying a dragon. The coin is Gold.

This is a sovereign of 1890 from the sound of it. The obverse has the jubilee head of Queen Victoria. It should be 22.05cm in diameter. Value will depend on condition - around £70 upwards. Still legal tender at £1.

It can't be a half sovereign as the George and dragon reverse didn't appear on those until 1893.
