This pretty 1811 silver shilling token from Hampshire in Great Britain was struck for Newport, which is the largest town on the Isle of Wight. The Isle itself has been independent, with its own county council, since 1890, and every summer for the last 55 years has hosted one of the world's most humongous, boisterous, and star-studded rock festivals.
Featuring an "ancient ship" based on the town's thirteenth-century seal, this token also bears the wonderful legend, "May Plenty Crown our Happy Isle." No records survive to tell us who issued this piece and its companion (but not quite matching) sixpence.Newport, Isle of Wight, Hampshire, 1811 Shilling. Dalton 25, Davis 22. (Seller's image.)

Is this topic for ships with sails or for all ships that 'sail' the high seas?

@dear, you could always ask @luckycuss for their intent in creating this thread, but it looks to have been largely populated by coins featuring ships that have actual sails on them. For example, here is a $5 coin that I recently picked up in the Cook Islands:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
