Help identifying tiny one Penny coin [solved]

5 posts • viewed 76 times

weighs approx 0.5g and width is approx 1.3cm

closest I’ve come to is around 1860 but can’t see any with the writing underneath and can’t figure out what the writing is? Also can’t make out the writing around the queens head which would be victoria but writing doesn’t seem to match up with others that are similar. wondered if it could be an east indian type Penny from similar era

Looks like its been cast almost.

I wouldn't think this was a real coin, as a real coin would be silver and have a clear date on it.

 The identity is already in the first picture - 

in the exergue below Britannia is LAUER lettering, 

not a date. The company in Germany made miniature coins.
