    This is a really neat souvenir from her Golden Jubilee (50 years on the throne) in 1887. Has the look of a coin but opens up to be a lighter.
    And no, I haven’t tried to see if it works! ????

      strangemodegirl, Like dav2no1 said, it's very cool. :-)

      Google Lens didn't turn up any twins, but a lot of siblings and cousins, and some of them are here at CW S&T (one is described as having been made in Japan):

      Here is one at catawiki, and you can see a "MADE IN JAPAN" inscription on the reverse:

      Here's a George VI made in Japan:

      Here is one described as having been made using an antique Spanish coin:

      So, dunno about the antiquity of any of these lighters (although some of them seem to have actual vintage/antique coins in them), but they are cool.

      I thought this was going to be a commemorative token….then, Wow! It’s a cute lighter! Very cool.
