ID a very strange token?

[HistoryTreasures]

I honestly haven't got a clue what this is: it's just about the strangest thing I've seen!

I wondered if it was something like, if you transpose the second image on top of the first to fill in the spaces that seem to be missing from the ship, you form a complete image?... but it doesn't look right...a mystery LOL

I can't decide if the portrait is meant to be Henry VIII or Prince Charles!! I was wondering, could it be a 'Mary Rose' souvenir type of thing? It looks modern to me.

I think you're right with Henry VIII and it certainly looks modern, so I'd go with the Mary Rose hypotheses

Hmf..just why is the ship missing its boughs?

I'd personally put this down as a childs comic giveaway, ie you rub certain bits, onto paper with pencil, then turn it and things appear. Could be totally wrong but I have seen similar in the past.

Lots of luv

I think it's called Modern Art. Aka Crap.

(actually it looks no worse than any commemorative 50 pence or crown-sized reverse of the last 30 years ... though that's not saying much )

Hehe..nice to know it's probably worthless, modern crap!

Hmmmmm!

Hate to be pedantic but boughs grow on trees.

The pointy bit on a ship is called the bow. Or stem if you want to get technical.

Oh! I took the spelling at face value and assumed the poster was talking about the masts!! Hahaha. (And let's face it, a mast is just a bloody big bough cut to size )
