    Please Help Colonial Token or Old Coin?????

    I found this in a plow field in Delaware ten years ago. I also found a variety of coins from 1780-1850 and War of 1812 naval buttons on the site.
    This appears to read FOR IMITATION and TETTON at the bottom with an oval shaped Dorway with grass at the bottom.
    The other side has an older eagle facing right and I cannot understand the words.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    It's a jeton. Probably German, and one side shows a beehive, and the other a bird.

    Just found another link to one here.
