Incidentally, these coins were sometimes called Hogge Money. The Sommers Islands were known as the Hogge Islands. Now they are known as... (read the page and find out!)

The chances of you having a real one is slim. I know, news you did not want to hear. They abound as copies and have been made for a good long time. Many were produced in the 1960's when the word copy was not required like today. It needs to be sent in to a certification service to be authenticated. ANACS is one of them, they can be reached at www.anacs.com. I would see a local dearer or two but they may not know much about your coin for it is a colonial coin and most dealers in modern coins have no idea about that subject. See if you can find a knowledgeable dealer in your area or send it to ANACS yourself.
