Thankyou all for your responces, much appreciated. The link you supplied alganbagerap is the exact same coin as mine and almost the same condition.
philadelphian...I never noticed it before but the coin does have lettering on the edge. I think it says Payable at Deptford Chatham or Dover.

I have one more coin and I also think it must be a Condor Token. It also has lettering on the edge that says, Payable at Birmingham London or Bristol. I will post pictures, let me know if you think it is also a Condor Token. It's a 1793 Coventry Half Penny. The coins originally were my grandfathers who was born in Scotland in the 1880's. They were then passed down to my father and then me. Thanks again all for your help.

It is important ( to some at least...) to distinguish between Kentish Men and Men of Kent.

Kent is the county in the South-East corner of England, and the natural staging post for invasions. It used to be two counties, East Kent and West Kent. After the Romans left around 404AD there were waves of Germanic invaders, Saxons, Angles and Jutes mainly. West Kent was mostly Saxon and East Kent was occupied by Jutes. This racial division was sort of preserved by boundaries, including the River Medway. Kentish Men are from the West(Saxon), and Men of Kent from the East (Jute). I recall when I was younger some local people getting a little upset about being called the wrong thing. The actual racial divisions disappeared many hundreds of years ago. This tradition would appear to be a vestige of the original racial split.

Your token refers to the Saxon - West kent, 1067 uprising against William the Conqueror, or "William the ", depending on your political affiliations. His half-brother Odo of Bayeux was made Earl of Kent, and through his harsh treatment of the locals sparked rebellion. This was aggravated by the fact that the local Saxon nobility had been deposed and replaced by Normans.

(Replace the smiley above by a term of abuse beginning with "B", ending with "d", which used to refer to a person of doubtful parentage).

Of course, the mounted figure on the Coventry halfpenny is the town's most famous personage, Godgifu, wife of Earl Leofric of Mercia (Lady Godiva).

Now, Peter, not all of us live in Australia, where I imagine, you could step out your door at any time, and see majestic flocks of elephants galloping across the pampas (steppes?)
