Hello all,

I am looking for info about this tiny coin, (probably a token ?): it seems a tiny sovereign, with the classical Pistrucci's St. George and the 3rd portrait of Queen Victoria.
It seems very strange the date: 1800 (probably a "1900").

Do you have any clue?

Thank you all and have a nice Season's Holiday.

Bests,
Marco
