Unknown Eight Sided Coin


Recommended Posts

I found this very worn coin on the beach with the Equinox. I'd @ 14 and appears to be similar metal to a nickel. There is the bust of a head on the front looking to the left. The reverse shows the number 5.

 

I've searched Google for octagonal coins with no luck.  I found this in an area where I was finding bronze nails from a 1860 shipwreck.

 

Anyone know what it is?

Thanks,

Tim
