Thank for all your help!

That's it thank you very much! anyone any idea if it's of any value?

this is the reverse of the coin, much harder to make out due to wear and tear. Best pics I could get, turns out coins are tricky things to photograph!

If you haven't got the facilities to post a picture, I would mention that there really wasn't much going on in British coinange in 1789; the guinea, its fractions and a few maundy bits but that was about it. Possibly a trade token, although most of those were dated a few years later.

Hi this is my first post so I hope I'm posting in the right place! I have a coin dated 1789 which I had been presuming was British but am now puzzled as to whether it is after checking the descriptions on this site... it is a copper/gold colour though tarnished black, measures 29mm across the widest point. the writing around the edge is hard to make out but on one side it has a large shield in the centre with 17 to the left of it and 89 to the right of it. The reverse has a central large image though too worn to say for certain what it is. I wonder if anyone has any ideas as to what it may be? Thank you
