A friend a work asked me to post this on the forum, to see what info I could find out about it.

It's KM#765 from Great Britain. Anyone have a current value and grade, please.

Aw Steve, I hate to see a grown man cry.  :-*  ::)  ;D

Have a look at this one, to my eyes it looks to have had less wear than the one you posted, although it appears to have damage on the nose.  ???

Also quite a few on Ebay.

Great coin.

The 1935 Crown I purchased from Numismatty has a similar reverse, except the man on the horse is a Knight (Saint George and the Dragon).

It does seem to have a pretty decent reverse showing good details, though the Victoria side is a little worn. If it's in Fine state it should be worth about 10-15 pounds according to my book.
