I have a house in Gillingham. Is the new bridge done across to Sheppey yet? I heard they were going to build another one that didn't need to open up and strand the islanders when big ships went by!

Can you read anything on the coin?

One side of the coin is fleur de lise, the other side does have a D a back to front B, a T an O and N and a back to front B. I can also make out an 8.

Yes the bridge is done. Its great.

Your "coin" is a French medieval jetton.

There are many different types.

They sometimes circulated as currency but were mainly used as counters.

If you google the foregoing you will probably find a very similar example.
