Nice find - I agree, looks like a 17th century halfpenny token, the octagonal shape being quite unusual. Can you make out any of the lettering?

Its always nice to find old tokens, they are worth a few £'s in good condition, and are very popular on Ebay.
I'm after a Bristol square farthing token myself, it was issued in Elizabeth 1st reign and is ment to be the earliest examples.

Nice one Discrim
