Comment
This ia a co-operative bread token, issued by the “nameless society” “Dagelijksch Brood” ("Daily Bread"), established in Evergem-Rabot. It was issued at the beginning of the 20th century in or near Ghent, Belgium.
More bread tokens from this society were issued, some in brass, others in zinc. Sometimes, the only letters on the token are D. B.
The tokens are round or octagonal, and may have one or two holes drilled in them, and a 2 or 3 digit individual number.
