I can't get a real good picture, but I'll describe it as best I can. Its about the size of a quarter, just a bit bigger. It has a ridged edge. On one side, it has what appears to be a king, portrait. The face is facing the right. He has a beard and a funny hat on. There are dots all around it. It appears to have a year or something on the right side, and some strange letters on the left (I can't make out the exact year but it is 4 digits and appears to say "17--" idk what the blanks are). The other side has a ship, with three masts, and a flag on the mast to the left. That flag is towards the top of the coin, in the middle. If I can get a decent picture on here I will, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, can you post a picture for me to verify? Thanks.

I'm off to find a better camera and lighting.

Sounds like one of the "navy type" Conder tokens to me.

You said the man has a beard and a funny hat. Maybe something South Korean like this one? Anyone know if there's another denomination with ships on the back?

Pfew! would it be an Carribean coin of 1/2 penny somewhere around 1776 With George III of IV at it depicted or just a Canadian 1/2 penny from the province of New Brunswick?
