Comment
This is a gaming token of minimal value. Typically they are imitation guineas or fractions.Often holed for a watch chain. They were often given to theatre audiences as momentoes. There are numerous different dates/types/wording and on the whole they were not produced to deceive the public into thinking these were spade guineas or half guineas.
