It doesn't look British, and the coat of arms would have to be looked at by a herladic expert. Might be Spanish related. Maybe Lima in Peru. King Karolus and Queen Johanna

A variation of this

No, look at the image i gave a link for.

K J. Three crowns, a star, a flower / plant. Two coats of arms that have all those elements ?

this is,nt a competition about...who found what..although..i can now see that you think you have something to prove...and that you may be seeking a coconut...well...i,ve run out of them....i do admit there are striking similarities...but. .also a vast difference...i.e. K on the left as you look at pic 1...and J on the right....but as Mart says...we should wait until the O.P...gives us a location...which... i think all should do from the start....as it would save a lot of conjecture....

This being my point - they have.

Ok wow, didn't expect those many responses.

Thanks so much guys, any idea of what its possibly worth? I will try to get a pic of the back for any hallmarks or signitures.


Appreciate the help!

first and foremost...can you give us a general location...for as it is..you could be anywhere...and say for instance..you were in a third world country...then the value might be as little as a pound of rice.....location does help...
