Strange looking half dollar

[birdman]

I hit a couple of homes this weekend and thought I had found what I thought was a silver half and on closer look it was a one Florin .No date but it looks to be English1870-1880s. I love getting fooled every now and then. The house was built in 1950 so it must have been a bring back from WW2. The home the barber came from was built in 1900 but pretty fairly trashy.

Grubber ,found these with the etrac . The other thing in my land turned out to be a lighter in the shape of a bottle. It says pat applied for on the bottom. The US item is a collar disk I think ww1 era but not sure. Love this hobby!

There is a date on the coin but I can't quite make it out on the photo. It's in roman numerals at the end of the inscription on the side with the queen.
