Not really sure, except to say:

- without a country, denomination or inscription, it's not a "coin" - whether it's a token, jeton, medal or something else, I don't know.

- with a proper petasos and a caduceus, it's really Mercury, not the winged Liberty on your "Mercury" dimes.

- with a trident, it's really Britannia, not one of the lookalike figures often featured on tokens.
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

Thank you for your help! I've discovered that the coin is actually a token from 19th Century England. It was minted by the British Copper Company. The coin was issued between 1811 and 1820. Its value is about $28 US for a VF token. Have a great day!
