Found this coin, just wondering what it is and if it's worth anything. Thanks in advance.

The date on the reverse is 1890. Sorry for the blurry picture.

It's a fake sovereign. Fake because 1890 is an impossible date for George V. It looks like it's some kind of brass alloy and it was probably made in China within the last 5 years.
