found this coin at a real old park

We found this at a park that dates bad to the 1800 but the town dates back to the 1600s

Neat find! I wonder if it's not some sort of token or trade weight

Great find! It's a Civil War merchant token-

WM. F. WARNER / NO. 1 / CATHERINE MARKET. (TC-272975) New York, New York (New York), U.S.A.

TC-272975; Fuld NY-630CB-1a *** During the Civil War (1861-65) the public hoarded all government issued coins for their bullion value (even the lowly cents). Merchants had to make change with script, postage stamps, and private tokens like this one.
