Coinman,

 

Fasinating bronze!

 

Is that a penny, a medal or a token. Either way I want it lol

 

It's a large, 43.22mm, French and Indian War medal struck in 1759 to celebrate the sweaping victories of that year, including the fall of Quebec, which effectively ended the war. Betts-418

 

A nearly complete set of these was auctioned by Heritage in their January US coins Signature Auction (though these were made in the mother country).
