I have recently found a coin that i believe to be a naval token on one side it has a 3 masted ship in full sail and on the reverse it has george and the dragon. It has round the edge "Promissory half penny".and a date of 1706 ?

the coin is copper and the size of 30 mms diameter

can anyone identify it for me please
