    Looks like a British contemporary counterfeit 1/2 penny.

    Could it be a blacksmith token?

    You know, that definitely would be worth looking into. The obv looks N. American with the laurel wreath on HRH.

    Whether real or counterfeit it certainly seems to have seen a lot of actual use!
