Requesting Info on This George III Token.......

[Goldiver]

This is not a metal detecting find, I bought it from a coin dealer many years ago for .50 or .75 cents along with some other coins. This one looked neat, so I figured it had to be worth what I gave for it.

The obverse depicts the bust of King George III, and says; "In the fiftieth year of his reign."

The reverse has a sunburst design and says; "G III completed the fiftieth year of his reign Oct. 25th 1810."

Size is 24.61 mm, and weights 4.8 grams.

Any info is appreciated, including rarity and approximate value.

Thanks......Steve.

The reverse appears to be very similar to that of the George III Golden Jubilee commemorative medal shown at:

You are correct, I was just going to post a comment on that very medal. I Googled George III Golden Jubilee and ran across that one too. Looks like we are getting close!
