Looks like a token of some sort. Haven't seen one like this before.

The apparent "EAO" inscription together with the "Produci More Food" motto seems suspicious, as if we're supposed to think it's an FAO coin. But if 1908 is the mint date, that's way too early for FAO coins. A fake of some sort?

Yep, a modern Chinese-made fantasy, combining a crudely made St Helena-Ascension obverse with an even cruder copy of a Uganda obverse.

Apparently, all the "errors" are supposed to make you say, "Wow, that must be a really rare error coin".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Elizabeth didn't become Queen until the early 1950's.

I actually have quite a few freaky fantasy issues.

Check this one out.
