Hello!
Can anyone ID this coin for me? I found it with some other coins...can't make out much detail except for the date and the outline of a blacksmith on the front?
Thanks!!

Wow that almost looks like George Washington, wish I could make out some lettering.

the effigy looks a lot like Francis of Austria, who had a long reign, and several shifts of title.

The below is what I have found out so far on your TOKEN:

Its actually a token, not a coin. Created by John Wilkinson, owner of a group of iron foundries in Britain, and "intended as payment for wages on a local basis, not for a larger circulation"

"Wilkinson Token" is what they are referred to as, if I am correct. Do a search for "a Conder Token Club" and others say that you could find all your information here.

Hope I was able to help.
