Large Victoria £5 Coin/Medal

[ColourOD 0]

My grandfather often gives me coins for my birthday, and as last year was my 21st he gifted me a jumbled assortment of small coins (one is a 1/2 groat which is in pretty bad condition, but is wonderful regardless~) and this rather large, rather heavy replica/medal of the Victorian £5 coin. (Unfortunately all my measuring tapes and rulers have just vanished from the house, so I can't tell you it's exact dimensions, but it's as big as the palm of my hand)

I've attempted to look this thing up online several times to no avail, I can't find it ANYWHERE so I was wondering if any of you had any information on it?? I'd love to know how many were made and such

I expect it's one of these, sold at London Coins Auctions recently:

Its a reproduction of the UNA and lion but on a large scale, which i think are in either plated gold or plated silver. Sadly of no great value but looks like it could make for a good coaster

Ahhh! London Coins - again.

Not sure if these are even any use as a coaster
