1835 British Groat

[Guest Erin]

I have found a coin with an 1835 date with King William IIII on the front . It says on the coin

Gulielmus IIII Dei Gratia Dated 1835 and a mans face I assume King WIlliam

On the reverse side it says Britanniar REx Fid Def With the maiden Britannia holding a trident and shield in a sitting position. No indication of a value or date on this particular side.

I have seen several pictures of a "groat" With William's photo on the front but on the reverse side Britannia is the same with the words four pence and the date under Britannia. See this link for a groat taht is similar in appearance. http://www.predecimal.com/forsale/groat1836.jpg

I can send a photo if someone can help.

Thanks

Erin

Is it silver or copper?? What is the size?? It might be a 1/3 farthing, if it is copper.

Look something like this??

Yes that is it!! Mine appears to be copper, and it is a little smaller than the size of a dime. Is it rare? Is it worth much? Thank you for your quick response!
