Artillery Coin Appraisal

Commemorative Coin or Token with Royal Crown and Artillery

The item appears to be a round, metallic coin or token, possibly struck from a silver-colored alloy, though the exact metal content cannot be determined from the image. Its diameter seems consistent with that of a larger coinage or medallion, likely between 25mm to 35mm. The obverse side, which is visible, features a detailed depiction of what appears to be a royal crown surmounted over a field gun, or a piece of artillery, possibly a cannon or a howitzer, lying on its side. Below the artillery, there are faint details that might indicate text or additional emblems, but they are not clearly discernible due to the image's resolution and potential wear on the item. The rim of the coin/token is slightly raised, creating a protective border for the central design. There are no visible clear maker's marks, signatures, or dates from this image. The surface exhibits some signs of wear, particularly around the raised areas of the design and the rim, suggesting it has been handled or circulated. There is a general dullness to the metal, indicating a possible patina that has accumulated over time, rather than a bright, polished finish. The overall craftsmanship suggests a machine-struck item, with reasonably clear detail in the central motifs, hinting at a commemorative or perhaps military-related issue. The style period is hard to pinpoint without clearer details or inscriptions, but the design elements (crown, traditional artillery) suggest it could range from late 19th to mid-20th century.
