    1792 Coin. Originating country- unknown Maker-unknown Value- unknown . Does anyone know anything about this coin? All you can see is 1792 on the obverse with what i believe to be "ingor" on left. Reverse shows intertwined letters HMC. That is all that is to be seen on this coin.

    The picture is too dark but I think it's a Conder Token.

    Duke is correct - from all appearances it is a Conder token. Specifically, it is an Irish token from Dublin, made for the Hibernian Mine Company. There are quite a fair number of varieties for the tokens for the company and there is not enough left of your token to identify it further. The obverse would show Hibernia seated with a harp with the legend INCORPORATED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT. The reverse would feature the cypher HMCo and the usual legend is CAMAC KYAN AND CAMAC HALFPENNY. There are also a number of varieties of these tokens with variations of all kinds in the legend.

    Very minimal value to this one.

    Amongst this > well, the pic was too big so i couldnt post. But found around a heart shaped rock which i believe to be a pirate treasure that is buried close by. Some people laugh at my idea. Maybe someday i can prove them wrong.
