As a kid I found this coin in a field (in England)...wondering if anyone could identify it, its age and possibly worth? Thanks

I knew I'd seen this before I think it looks a little more like yours. The site has some other period coins with it but this one was there. There seems to have been some spelling differentiations in the past. C's for S's, T's for A's and so forth. This one was listed in a medieval category. Hope this helps!

Yep, it's a jeton, or counting token. The crown on the obverse design is loosely based on the mediaeval coinage of Bohemia and Poland, while the ornate cross with fleur-de-lys tips is more French in inspiration.
