They are called New York Pennies since they circulated in that area.
Actually, they are Dutch (Holland) coins; called Duits, either half or full duits.
Crowned shield of the Province of Holland. Reverse: The monogram"VOC" of the Ducth East India Company; a rosette between 2 stars above. Edge:Plain ; Composition: Copper.
Nice find. Have a pic of the reverse side?

If the image of the Arms is that of "West-Friesland", as I suspect (versus Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht or Gelderland--the other mints that coined these 'duits'), and the date of the coin is 1750, then the 'duit' was minted at Medemblik, which was the location of the provincial mint of West-Fiesland between 1741 and 1751.
The mintmark "Cock of Teunis Kist" is found directly above the "V" (on the reverse--dated--side of the coin) and helps confirm the identity. The 'duit' weighed just over 2 grams (like a US dime at 2.27g) and was 22 mil. in dia. (between a nickel and a quarter).
Is there any Dutch, Holland or Netherlands history associated with the place of find?
