Does anyone know what this is? A friend found it while planting a bush in his yard. I have read about the continental coins, but I have not seen a pic of one like this.

It's date is 1776.

It's a weird fake fantasy piece, no value.

e pluribus unum : absolutely american, but....
The picture seems to be an english queen
There was no queen on the throne in 1776.
Look very neat to be that date.
Can we have the other side too?

This is one side of the famous Morgan dollar design, first made in the late 1800s.

If the date is 1776, it's totally fake.

And it doesn't look like it's made of silver.

Looks like someone was making these as charms/keychains. Here's one that sold on ebay:

Continental-Coin?
Also seems a similar effort to this one:

Thanks for the replies folks. The other side appears to be exactly the same. Haha, I'm not sure which side this is!

Thanks again...
