Good Afternoon I recently came across a small copper coin I can make out an anchor on one side the rest is covered in salt corrosion found on a beach, the anchor is not centered but to the side. Does anyone know of these coins.. thanks Chris

Welcome to the forums Chris :)

All I know about anchors on coins is that it was a mint mark used in medieval times (there were almost no copper coins then). We would need to see a decent photo or scan to help us, but it may prove difficult. Could be a token, I'm thinking. You can upload images using the Attachments dialogue below.
