It is a help penny token used as money in Canada back then. just like it says, it is a half penny/ and a token. Nice find. Congrats.

That's a super find. Is this the size of a US Quarter? I like the Iroquois on it too.

Thanks for the comments , and yes it has some age but have not pulled any sliver and the only old coin was this one and some wheat pennies, the site goes back to the early 1800s. Good Hunting to All!!!
