I did a search and found one on e-bay... Still not exactly sure what it is though,, coin, or token...
There caling it a " Nova Eboraca Token "
Here's the link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=528&item=3963957612&rd=1
You might try to contact them to find out alittle more, or it could be a good place to start,,,
Good luck, & keep us posted...

If you click on the pic link for unknow#185, it looks to be your coin...
On down the page, I think is a desciption... Looks very interesting...
9. #185-Just your average Brasher Doubloon (redbook p. 45), worth 1/2 mil if it's genuine. Of course, your average $1 lottery ticket is probably worth much more if it's a winner...
