Comment

Charles Hadduck was a grocer and tea provision dealer in Ashstead Row, Birmingham and was in business until around 1867/8. There is also a medal alignment error version - that alignment (↑↑) is not listed in Withers' "The Token Book 2".
 There is also a token (Batty 865) with bust of Chinese native in a draped hat seen full face. Lettering: CHAS HADDUCK ASHTED ROW 1840
