This isn't exactly a genealogy request, so moderators please move to the Off Topic bit if you see fit.
Found this coin, having trouble identifying it, and thought Rootschatters love a puzzle, so here it is:
It is about 15mm diameter.

From first impressions, it doesn't look like a British coin. Perhaps a token.

Here's some 'adjusted' versions.
I think it's 'Half'.

 Thanks for the input. I found it in a book. It's a locally issued Halfpenny by Stephen Brassier of Wilton, the one in the book is 1667. Obverse: Stephen Brassier 1667 B S H (in centre with 4 stars) Reverse: Wilton in Wiltsheere. His Half Peny
Just as a warning. If you are in polite company, don't go to Google images and put in Brassier half penny like I just did. You'll be surprised how many pictures of girls called Penny wearing their brassieres there are!!

Tee hee! I will have to scan and post the pic in the book. (Thank goodness they were wearing their Brassieres!)
