Unknown coin/token

[Don in SJ]

Posting for a friend, so the photos and info here is all I have.

Found in Virginia and no photo of the other side or any info if blank or what. My first thought was possible a coin related to that funky 3 legged Isle of Mann coin but just really have no idea so hoping someone here can make heads or tails out of of this copper.

Don, I believe you're referring to the 'triskelion' coin from the Isle of Mann. That coin, at least the ones I've seen, does not have the perfect three straight lines as in a triagle, but 'interrupted" straight lines as shown here:

It remains a challenge to ID.

H in the center is the mint. You don't need much because there's only three different mint letters/symbols on these. (H, N, &)
