Can you tell me what this is?

I think it must be a token of some sort. I have never seen one like that

I would guess a blacksmith token but I can't find it in my Canadian token book. With your permission I'll post it on a Canadian Coin site and ask there.

Maybe this?

Not Local* W630 D-32 ND Mercury facing L/Britannia seated. Scarce--- (British Copper Co Issue)

From here...

It is not listed in the Charlton book on Canadian tokens. I think MrPotatoHeadd has got it right. Unfortunately I do not own either the Withers or Davis books on 18th century tokens. Some day - both books are fairly expensive.

Essex, Walthamstow, Withers 630-633, depending on leaves and acorns counted.
Scarce to RRR. And yes, an issue of the British Copper Company from sometime between 1811 and 1820.

Best to all ~

Oops...forgot: Davis 34-37.
