It's a Barbados penny token from 1792, issued by Sir Philip Gibbes, a sugar plantation owner.

The Gibraltar 20p is my top pick, very lustrous. It might be about a year since I last got an alphabet 10p, unfortunately it’s a duplicate, so still on 24/26 for 2018. And I wish I could find more 1/2 Swiss Francs masquerading as 5p’s

What are these commemorating?

I was out on a walk at the weekend with the wife and dog in Foots Cray Meadows at the weekend and I found the below coin 🪙.

Fairly corroded King George V, One Penny from 1919. Nice to be able to fin a piece of history.
