Dated 1820, it appears to be brass in composition. Its diameter is 27.4 mm, which suggests to me some sort of halfpenny token. It certainly looks to have circulated for some time. The harp motif could indicate a connection to Ireland, Wales, Scotland, or even Brittany or Canada. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

One is close but not right I don't think. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 03/22/2019 06:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 8:20 pm Thank you both for pointing me in a more definitive direction. Clearly it's a Canadian token for which many varieties exist, and while common as a type, actual asking/selling prices seem to be all over the place.

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 9:02 pm 1820 bust & harp 1/2 p token. many of the imitations were very crudely made and as a result an MS60 might appear as a VF30 (in traditional grading standards). it's a really difficult series to grade.
