It looks like a trade token, these were issued by various organisations in the 18th and 19th centuries.
 
I grew up at Soho House, and we used to have two Cartwheel Bolton Pennies which I can remember playing with when I was young. They were quite thick and heavy. I think my Mom must have left them there when we moved as I never saw them again. They were quite different to the Halfpenny picture as they had an outer rim. I bet they would be worth something today.
