Not sure if these photos are the right way up! I realise this is a big ask, but any help appreciated:

 

 If the first picture is rotated left it looking like clasped hands over a tree - 

which I have seen somewhere. Not sure yet about the reverse. Will look …

eage eyes @ZacUK - I've looked at it again and I think you're right - clasped hands over branch(es)

 Thanks - can not remember where from - yet. Rotated and cropped

 Could be described as a handshake, each with large cuffs. Like this >

 Not sure if it is that, though similar - 

looking for that design yes, but - with an exergue below with K letter in it. 

  

 Though saying that, I did wonder if that were an exergue line, why it was 

at an angle to the hands and plant. So now rotated a little more, as shown. 

 Now to look at the reverse …

 Can not yet see anything recognisable - design or lettering 

 

 

 Looked again and can just about see H A L .. N lettering,

letters, plus whatever of the design can be seen.  

 

 

 I recognised it as I own a (battered) example already >

Yes it's defintely cvlasped hands with large cuffs. On the other side, if I keep changing the angle I can just make out a line and the two sails, so I think it's defintely a 1793 UK Conder Token. You are brilliant, thanks so much

 Thanks. That battered coin of mine I got 10 years ago

and now found it is on here also 

N#53113 

which the description says they are bales/ packages tied up for shipping. 

 It also says ‘hands united’ otherwise I would have found [handshake] the 

page sooner. Also not a tree but an olive branch I see. Nice coin though.
