Holed copper coin. Need help with I.D.

[The Buzzard King]

I found this coin today in a farm field in PA., and I don't know what it is.
It's the same size as a Large Cent, but a little thinner.
It appears to have the date 1843 near the center on the back, (right near the hole), but I can't really tell for sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking.

That seal looks very familiar. It will come back to me....

Pretty sure it's a Canadian bank token

 

[PBK]

Agreed.
Looks like a Bank of Montreal token.

its a bank token from Canada.

Yes, it is without a doubt a Bank of Montreal half penny token. I just pulled one up of my own in a field hunt this evening. Nice find, and certainly a nice addition to the collection.
