Unknown Georgivs III Rex Coin or Medal?

[fiveforks]

This coin appears to be copper because it is badly corroded. On the front it reads Georgivs III. King George has a wreath around his head and has a uniform with a sun shaped medal with a cross in the middle. In the center of the back of the crown there is a lion with a crown on the left, and a horse on the right. In the center of the two animals is a flore di les (spelling?). On the outer edge of the top of the coin (reading to the right) reads: Quebec crown point unknown word, lagos mineen quadaloupe niagara. The coin has a lot of numbers but none seem to represent a year for instance, Nov 20, Aug 4, Jul 25, and two more August dates that the numbers are not legible. Most of the writing is in Latin so I am unsure what it means. Under the words Crown Point it says Amherst.

If you could please help me to find a date of when this may have been issued, and how much it is worth and what type of coin it is.

I found this coin relic hunting 15 years ago in New Kent County, Virginia but have never known exactly what type of coin it is other than that it is English.

I'm not sure if this what you have but maybe it is related? Since you found it in Virginia and all...

ORIGIN OF THE APPELLATION "OLD DOMINION."[1]

There is in the possession of the Massachusetts Historical Society, a coin of the following
description: on one side is a head, and the words " Georgius III. Rex.;" on the
other side is a shield, on which are quartered the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland,
and Virginia. The whole surmounted by a crown, and encircled with the word, "Virginia,
1773."

A similar coin was dug up a few years since, and the following statement was published
with the description of it: During the usurpation of Cromwell, the colony of Virginia
refused to acknowledge his authority, and declared itself independent. Shortly
after, finding that Cromwell threatened to send a fleet and an army to reduce Virginia
to subjection, and fearing the ability of this feeble state to withstand this force, she
sent, in a small ship, a messenger to Charles II., then an exile in Breda, Flanders.
Charles accepted the invitation to come over, and be king of Virginia, and was on the
eve of embarking when he was recalled to the throne of England. As soon as he was
restored to the crown of England, in gratitude for the loyalty of Virginia, he caused her
coat of arms to be quartered with those of England, Scotland, and Ireland, as an independent
member of the empire.

Im sure we could ID this interesting coin/medallion if you could post a better pic of the back.

Are you sure its not Georgivs II? Taking the picture outside in natural daylight should help eliminate any reflections. The pic is not bad but I cant quite see it all.

Its a very interesting American medal. Here is what I found so far: http://books.google.com/books?id=my...nepage&q="quebec niagara crown point"&f=false

If his name was "RELICDUDE," it would be a $10,000 find.

Usually not much but there are some worth a chunk of change.

With a question like that you're looking to unleash the BB.
