Hi All,

I recently came across this coin in a bulk lot and would like it identified. I have googled it to no avail. It has no date on it?
It is bronze / copper and is approximately 28mm in diameter.
Thanks Alot
Dave

It's a British token, struck after tokens were prohibited in Britain - hence the lack of date or other identifying markings. They would have seen circulation mostly in Ireland and the Canadian provinces.

The first side is the same as 1/2 Penny "vincii amor patriae" / Britannia 1811 token.
