I would research it on the Internet first so you are a little more educated about what you have. You could then find a reputable coin shop in your area and take it there to find out what they would value it for, or try a good jeweler they might know.

There is a problem here. In 1820 gold coins were 1/2 Sovereigns and Sovereigns. Also their was no one pound silver coin, it was a Crown. It would have George III on it one side and St. George slaying a dragon on the other. No coins of Great Britain had the karats on it. You must have a medal of some sorts. For me to help, I need to know what exactly is on each side.

Ray: My Uncle is an expert on this thing so i'll let him answer:
Uncle: It is a very very rear piece.!! depending on it's condition, and whether it is really geniune, at an antiques auction it could fetch between £17'000 - £22'000. But my advice would be to take it to the British Museum first cause they might offer you more!
Don't get to carried away though, for the moment keep it a secret and dont tell anyone you have it. All the best!!
Ray: Hope my uncle helped!! Take Care. x

Your best bet is to call local antique dealers. pose the question to them. They are likely to tell you it is worth less than it is so keep that in mind.
Ebay is a good site but often items sell much cheaper than they are truly worth, which is why so many people like Ebay in the first place.
Try a place like www.craigslist.org after you have an idea what it is worth.
Good luck!

Hold onto it. It's a great antique to pass on to your family and or children. 22KT could be white gold. Don't let someone rip you off for that. Going to someone without knowing what you truly have there could net you a whole lot less than if you went to them and asked what their opinion of value would be prior to asking if they would buy it.
Good Luck.
