Hello Everyone,
I had my Equinox out for its first real hunt. Found this holed British Coin, any ideas?

It is about the size of a U.S. dime.

Thanks

Looks like an 1887-93 British 3 pence made into a love token/pendant. Cool find for over here. :icon_thumright:

Nice find congrats! :occasion14:
 

very cool find
 

Very nice save, congrats
 

It does appear to be the "Jubilee " profile of Her Majesty - and now I'm unsure if you found a thruppence or a sixpence ?
 

Can't ID it without a diameter, as it could be a 3 pence, sixpence, or shilling??
The Jubilee head was used from 1897-1893.
 

Since we are given that it is close to the size of a
U.S. dime , I'm thinking sixpence rather than thruppence - but I could be mistaken !
 

Okay , I have the diameter measurements of , a Victorian 3 Pence , a U.S. Dime , and a Victorian Sixpence .. they are as follows : 3 Pence - 16 mm., U.S. Dime -17.9 mm., Sixpence -19mm.
