Well done!!..you say not in good condition..and on taking a second look i have to concur with Val, It certainly does look a bit "Tokenish". Say I certainly wouldn't look that good after being in the soil for that long .. LOL 😁...good hunting..👍

Thanks mate.
I've been digging out more ferrous targets and sometimes you get nice surprises,plus I'm detecting on the bald patches made by the cows so I grid search more.Most of my permissions are still full of crops...

Looks like a 17th century trade token to me, but very worn

Very good find Andre but I agree with Dungbeetle. It looks more like a token but a very nice one.
I've not seen a Jetton with letters stamped on it but I'm only going by what I remember seeing when I was researching the one I found so could be wrong.

Yes,I think you’re right.
When I found it,I could barely see the inscriptions and very fragile,so I dabbed it with a bit of Vaseline and pop the lettering appeared.
It sounds like iron but with a bit of iffy copper like tones,if you know what I mean..

Have a look on Colchester Treasure - 17th cent copper Tokens.

Lots like yours.
