1965 crown sized George and the Dragon

[Gary 7]

I dont know if I have asked about this one before so I'll apologise up front if I have. Can anyone shed any light on this, a crown sized coin/medallion 35mm, 2.3mm thick and weighs in at 15.8g (so not silver). It has a milled edge and seems to be made of a white metal although shows signs of plating. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Gary...That is just awful CSE metalwork Grade 5 methinks.

Wrap it and try and slide it into someone else's bin.

Peter, if I could have done something like that for CSE metalwork I might have passed

I think it looks a bit better than the 1965 Churchill crown myself!

I hear a distant rumble. Must be Pistrucci turning in his grave...

He would definitely not be impressed if he saw the official Royal Mint 2007 or 2008 proof sovereigns that bear his initials. They are shockingly poor quality.

Yeah, but at least those are his design, unlike that poor thing above.
