    Even the token in that post looks re-manufactured. I don't even believe that the one on the post is gold, perhaps it is gold plated and the one here was at one point gold plated and lost its plating since the one in this post looks to be more circulated than the one on the Link. Hope this all makes sense. 

    I can go back to see my old french coins, the color is consistent, and some have similar silhouettes, (Behind the added metal) but to find it, I would need close ups of the dates and the boat. Also the size and wight. 

    I doubt that OP will follow up. perhaps he does not want to find out the truth out of fear and disappointment.  

    Sending you some clear photos of the coin

    The darn thing had me interested enough to do some snooping about. I don't know what you have there but if it was mine, I'd keep digging. It probably has little value but the joy of figuring out the puzzle is always rewarding!

    Three possibilities for OP to consider:

    1) The design, particularly the reverse, has some similarities with brass jetons as someone had mentioned; however those issued in Germany (Nuremburg) have the most similarities so maybe start there. The strikes are poor and have misshapen bits of metal similar to what shows on the mast in the image (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces156635.html) which leads one to think of soldering the design. The focus on cannon on the hull is likewise similar. However, those tokens almost always portray the ship from the stern quarter, there is significantly more detail in the hull and rigging, they usually have a rim, and the portraits on the obverse are much more sophisticated. What may be a Templar/Order of Christ cross on the sail is likewise dissimilar as it would have been in use only in Portugal and Spain - and even then, much earlier than 1777.

    2) There are tokens commemorating the landing of the Marquis De Lafayette in 1777; the example here was struck later in 1824 and is significantly more detailed but maybe this is a more contemporaneous example. However, the cross on the sail is again not fitting with the historical event.

    3) James Cook landed on several islands in 1777, claiming them for the Crown. Again, medals and tokens were issued to commemorate the events; however, the cross on the sail is again not fitting with the rig on HMS Resolution. 

    Thanks for your suggestion and support

    It's not a coin. Those who have knowledge about coins know what is not a coin.

    If you pointed at a horse and said, "Tell me what kind of camel that is," and a camel expert said "That isn't a camel at all; it's a horse," would you say to him: "If you are a camel expert, surely you can tell me what kind of camel it is?"

    Hey man, we came from a place named India, India gets freedom in 1947 . So a coin of 1777 that i inspect from a Goldsmith that it is a gold coin and you all people are saying that it is a game play coin or it is a bronze coin. What you people want that i should go and clean this coin and then it will shine like a gold coin. And the most interesting fact is that we never travels too much and this coin was here from starting and the Britishes came in 1700's and we never go to Britain. And India was a, is a cultural country not a game play coin country.

    @Sachin singh

    Can you take a closer picture on the date and the reverse, bottom of the boat? 

    The coin looks to be altered. probably a poor attempt by someone to re-enhance the design. I am curious to see what is underneed the altered details. 

     

    Yes i will send it to you
