Found this in Charleston, SC next to a large live oak in a known civil war site/plantation. Its about the size of a quarter. The backside has lost its shank and it says PLATED. The front is warn, but I can make out 6 stacks of cannon balls on the lower half around the edge. In the upper left is a sun, in the middle is an anchor and chain. To the left and right of the anchor appears to be two more stacks of cannon balls and above the anchor appears to be a cannon on a wagon wheel. Below the anchor and above the smaller cannon ball stacks there appears to be a squiggly line from left to right. I drew it best I can.

Thanks for looking!
