This was included in a small box of foreign coins from a garage sale.
Looks like it's been polished to death...even has a corrosion hole through it.
Never seen one before...industrial scene above the date...any info would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Don't recognize the coin but it looks like a 1793.
Maybe you could identify it through COINSCOPE

These were made by private companies during a time when the British mint couldn't/wouldn't meet demand: Interesting story.

Effectively "counterfeits" [Conder tokens] that were accepted by the public. There are also counterfeits of the counterfeits all from the late 1700s to early 1800s.

It is a tradesman / Condor token. Hopefully someone with better reference material than I can give you the DH number for it.
Here is a digital copy of the reference book.
