Check this one out, I can't place it. You can see the cross with 2 fleur de lis and that strange exaggerated cross on back. Found in Connecticut, made of copper.

Actually, consider a French token. Not uncommon to find them in the US. I found 1 in Delaware after Sandy. Maybe a google search. The 17th and 18th century French monarch generally had their portraits on the coins. Nice, and uncommon find.

Haven't got a clue, but I know someone here will be able to
identify it..very interesting and very old coin.

Reworked the pics a bit to see if it would bring out an additional detail:

Great find, the kind of stuff I still dream of :(

I've only ever seen jettons with the three fleur's or a cross, never that mix or never with that exaggerated cross on the reverse. It's got to be a token, but I've never seen anything like it and can't find anything that resembles it online.
