ok, this coin has been in my posession for a long while now. I don't remember how i came obout it but it has always been a mystery to me. I'm affraid to clean it because I don't know what it is made out of but I think it may have some sort of a spanish orgin. on the front it has what looks to be part of a crown in the middle and on the outer part of the coin all i can make out is NGHAM near the top or the right side of the crown all i can make out is the letters EA. on the back all i can make out is the letters EPR and the word "ONE" after it. from the looks of it this coin was in a fire of some sort and almost destroyed completely. If anyone can help me that would be great. thanks for looking.


I'm trying to post pictures but my computer has a virus and it wont allow me to do so. if you want to see a picture of just let me know and i will email it to you.

ok I just tried to clean th coing up a bit it's not silver like i was hoping its eaither copper or bronze but i can't tell the difference. and i believe the word on thefront by the crown says something "mingham" i can't make out the first part of it.
 

How big is the coin for size reference?

Can't say exactly which one you have but most likely you have an English Birmingham & Neath Trade Penny Token. Here is a photo of one. There are many but yours sounds similar to the one pictured here.
