Comment
Unusual in that it is not holed and smaller than the KETTLE version. On the obverse the 8 in 1801 is different then the KETTLE version. On the reverse, the A of PEACE is an inverted V and the V of DAVIES appears to be an inverted A and/or an overstrike of another letter.
There is a gold gilt DAVIES version, shown at the Heritage (Auction) site.
