Anyone recognise any of these? (the pound coin is for size reference)

Tiny George and the dragon






This one looks like a sixpence but it doesn't look silver

#4 looks like a cast copy of a half crown, quite possibly a contemporary forgery.
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

 # 1 is a Lauer model coin - used as toy money.
It has the word LAUER on the left. And ONE CROWN as well.

 I remember Lauer name from this topic three years ago ...

and also remembered I found links to the Cambridge Museum, and that they had a lot of various toy coins in their collection. So on their site I searched  LAUER CROWN 1902

 #2 Does the lettering read BORN NEXT THE CROWN and W L W letters? What about the other side - anything readable?

 #4 I agree with Phil - we are seeing it now nearly two hundred years after it was made, so at the time may have been new and silver plated - to be passed off as the real coin. It only needed to fool one person and the forger was successful. Assuming that's what it is.

#2 Nothing else written, could be upside down in the image, could be M.I.M or W.I.W, not too sure.


#4 is an exact replica of the silver 1817 silver shilling

the detail in it is very good for a copy

I remember something like 2 from a topic a while back about a business in Britain in the 1600's...
Anyone else remember it?
I cant find any info on the rest, time to give up and move on. :~
