    Terrific item... I would have anticipated bronze which may possibly suggest it is a little later than what I initially suspected. Congrats... it really is off the coolness charts.

    Any idea when it is from? Initially I was thinking 1890s but it might be later... as in maybe 30-40 years later... possibly the 1930s. I really don't know but I more inclined to think it is later

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Sweeny's book on Heaton & Sons dates it as circa 1889. I actually bought four different ones. The others are bronze, copper, and brass.

    One more, circa 1890. Larger, English penny size in bronze. My other three are halfpenny size.
