A token I just got from the UK. 28mm. probably Brass. Uniface. Maybe a ferry token. Seller had no idea where it is from. Got it in a batch of coins.

Not very informative :-\

Size and metal colour reminiscent of a Straits Settlements cent, but that may well be a coincidence. Not in Saran Singh.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

I was immediately reminded of the two ferry tokens listed by Smith for Hartlepool, which are similarly uninformative, but which both have centre holes. Have just looked through Smith for the whole UK, Ireland, Aus and NZ and found a few others that just say FERRY TOKEN but all of them have holes.
