Mercury holding Caduceus + Bust facing right.

The auction incorrectly listed it as a Columbia Farthing, but the motif's are pretty far off for that series - not to mention this was obviously struck without a collar.

My best guess is a really old jeton, but if anyone else has any insight I would love to hear all opinions.

thank you in advance

Just spotted the following at http://www.swedishcoppers.com/CoinTypes.html

The OP coin at least seems to be referencing this.
