I think I found a foreign coin need help IDing it

[tmanfromtexas]

Went out today in Chicago and hunted Jackson park where the Columbian Exhibition of 1893 was held. I found a coin that is the same size as a lincoln penny but it is not it or an indian. It has the letter 1, the date of 1859 below it and a wreath around the edge similar to an indian. On the other side, it is almost smooth. I am sorry I dont have a camera to take pics as it crapped out on me. I have searched Canadian and British but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TMAN...

You're killin me Crusader I will take pics at work Monday but even then I dont know if there is enough detail to help ID it. What is cool about the find is that someone from somewhere other than the US or Canada came to Chicago in 1893, viewed the exhibition and left this coin behind. I go MDing today with GOIO and McEtrac and find it. I love this hobby. TMAN...
