    It's a US "Hard Times" token. Here is a website that explains the token.

    I absolutely love HTTs but I'm afraid I'll never be able to build a decent collection of them.

    This coin I conserved, and one day when I get my internet connection back, I'll show you the before pictures. Nick, be sure to remind me, as I'm getting a bit sloppy in my old age... image
