| Jeton or token, know as a Cumberland Jack. Similar in size to a gold sovereign, it has a portrait of Queen Victoria on the obverse. The reverse is a parody of St. George killing the dragon, but is said to actually represent the unpopular Duke of Cumberland who acceded to the throne of Hanover when Victoria could not do so, as it was male succession only. Hence the legend To Hanover, and Victoria's accession date 1837. made of brass |
