This might help, Good find
Copper one Penny Token, minted by an unknown British Mint, circa 1854. Issued by Alfred Nicholas, of the Liverpool Tea Warehouse, Hobart. Nicholas established a retail warehouse, offering goods such as sugar, brandy, ale and tobacco. He also took a keen interest in the colony's administration and was a member of the Tasmanian Legislative Assembly in 1858 and 1859, representing Hobart and Kingsborough.
Description:
A round copper token (34 mm diameter) featuring the name, address and business of the company which issued the tokens: Alfred Nicholas, Liverpool Tea Warehouse, Liverpool St., Hobart Town. The reverse features Britannia seated on a rock facing to left holding an olive branch extended in her right hand and resting a trident on her left forearm; above, BRITANNIA.

Thanks Mark yes sound like the one.

Great find mate
It threw me at first when I saw that penny side. It seems in great shape and must be worth a few bob.

$35 bucks on fleabay for one in fair cond though they are fairly rare.The area is an old camp site about 20x20m with heaps of deep junk targets so I dig 1 hour a week so far 3 old coins and 2 x 5g nuggets have turned up in about 6 months.It will probably take me 6 years at this rate to dig all the targets but worthwhile.
