token or coin?

[jgunnells]

This is the other coin/token that I found at the site with the King George from my last post.It has a flagship on one side and a sunburst with crescent moon on the other.There is writing on it but I'm afraid to try to clean it until I find out what it may be.Any clues?

Looks like a 17th-18th century Jetton or Jeton (Counting token) Don't clean

It could be this type of item which I was told was a 18Th century coffee house token. There would have been lots of varieties. Although mine as the date 1601 the style of the token is 18Th Century. As you can see mine as the letters SK under the scene of the bishop. It looks like yours as letters below the scene of the ship. Perhaps the letters were the initials of the token issuer.
