Hi, think this is gold quarter sovereign it says Georgivs 1111,it's 3.84 grams and seated Britannia on reverse any help appreciated thanks

I am no expert but the thing that I noticed straight away is that its covered in pitting and rust, silver and gold dont do this, partly why they are so valuable, someone else will no doubt tell you what the actual coin is, I could be totally wrong about the coin and it could just be the photograph, someone on here could tell you how to clean it carefully.

It might be a farthing

[daz]

Looks like a farthing to me as well tbh . But would like to be proved wrong

[SILVERFINGER]

What the old coin with the Wren bird on them or long before then ?

 

[dicker]

I think William IV Farthing.

It's almost certainly an early George IV farthing 1821 - 26

 

btw they didn't mint quarter sovereigns in those days and the seated Britannia design has never been used on a sovereign, so couldn't be a half sovereign which would be close to the actual weight.
