JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 287 Posts	Posted 11/23/2022 07:07 am Found this. Halfpenny legend but a very stylised portrait and ship. Diameter approx 17mm, weight 0.6g Is it even a coin or is it a token or just toy money ? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks Brian. Edited by JBL 11/23/2022 07:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

A small chain was probably used to make cheap jewelry/necklace for kids similar to this one. Edited by jasper62 11/23/2022 10:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 287 Posts	Posted 11/23/2022 10:10 am Thanks all. The missing bit of the rim does suggest a tag/eyelet was once there, it is a rough edged scar in the rim. Tend to think is was used as a charm or bracelet piece but it is a rather odd looking thing. Cheers Brian. Report this Post to the Staff
Notatzaddik Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 11/23/2022 2:36 pm The rendition of the Golden Hind on the reverse is not too bad. But the E II on the obverse is beyond terrible. Must be from a kids thing. Report this Post to the Staff
