Can anyone ID this so I can verify its weight?

    Depending on its size, the design matches
      KM#819, a half sovereign weighing 3.994g
      KM#820, a sovereign weighing 7.9881g
      KM#821, a £2 weighing 15.9761g
      KM#822, £5 weighing 38.9403g
    The problem is, none of those gold coins were minted with a 1927 date according to Krause, although George V was the King that year.

    It's a 1927SA sovereign (£1) from the Pretoria mint. The SA on the ground line is for South Africa. It's worth bullion in that grade.

    It doesn't look right even for a Pretoria minted coin, the design details are too soft and these pieces have been counterfeited in the Middle East for a long time.

    I'm trying to find it in the 2004 Standard Catalog of World Coins with no luck.

    It weighs 8.0 g
    Edit: it is struck in medal rotation.
    Bottom line: Gold/ Counterfeit?

    That coin is a counterfeit, probably made in the middle east pre-WWII.

    It does not look right to me either
