The obverse of the coin has the words GEORGIVIS VI D:G:BR: OMN:REX.
The reverse of the coin has the words FID: DEF:IND:IMP.
The coin is worth two shillings, and was minted in 1942.
The Reverse design has consists of a flower with a crown on top of it.
To the right of the flower is a three leaf clover with the letter R bellow it.
To the left of the flower is what looks like a thistle with the letter G bellow it.
The obverse features a head facing left.
The coin is a little larger than a quarter
If anybody can tell me if the coin is worth anything or what country it came from I would appriciate it.

Welcome to the forum Texas82
Texas, The greatest country on earth!!!!
The coin has toned a dark grey color, but I can still see a silver color around the rim.
Thanks for the welcome Cam40
If Askari sees this post , I know for sure he will give you the skinny on your coin.
I guess its silver if it aint copper. I shouldnt even try to guess these things as I have
nearly no knowledge of foriegn coinage.
I do think however that the GR.B stand for Great Britin.....see I cant even spell britin right...
