Help! Are there any numismatists on here?

The coin has approximately the same diameter as an old (pre-decimal) one penny coin but is much much thicker - thicker than today's one pound coin.
On one side is Shakespeare's portrait with the words ADMIT TO MY PLAIE above the portrait and the words ONE PENNY IN THE YARD below the portrait.
On the other side of the coin, there is an image of the Globe Theatre with the words SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE above and 1599-1642 below.
Anybody got any ideas please?
The coin is very solid,and its general appearance and immense thickness suggest it was not cheap to produce which hints that it may really be old.

A picture might help - do you have one? ( Note - I'm not a coin collector other than in the context of getting my change in a shop or picking up pennies off the ground! )

No camera, no scanner. Best I could do is hold it up in front of my webcam but I'm sure nobody wants to see my ugly mug even though my fiance in Antigua insists I am "adorable"
