Found this on the beach this morning thought it was a rusted bottle cap and almost threw it out with the rest of the caps I found, then something on it caught my eye and brought it home. It is thin and about the size of a nickel, nothing on the reverse except for the reverse punched image on the front, it also appears to be tin or aluminum...maybe a label to a fishing reel Any ideas? Thanks...

My first thought was "King Neptune" - maybe some kind of advertising piece off something?

Cubfan....Neptune was my first thougth as well...all I can think of is it may be the logo tag off the side of a fishing reel....

Neptune Token from a Cruise Ship. Any of those pass nearby?

Nothing on the back other than the punched reverse of the image on the front.

Mike...could be, all kinds of cruise ships including the QEII have been into Portland which is down the bay a little ways from here.

Poseidon (Neptune) is the first thing that came to my mind as well... but I have no idea what this would be for (or part of). An excellent find though!

any chance it came off one of these...

it looks like a medallion off a motor or something big to me.

Check the nose...which is considered to be Roman...

Maybe that is a clue as opposed to the crown...

Same here, even without looking at the other post, King Neptune.

Re-tek...it very well could be off of one of those outboards. They also made Neptune fishing reels, but can;t get a picture of what the logo looked like for them....
