George III Gaming token

This item is in Great Rissington GB

All the details

These were apparently 'minted' during Victoria's reign, but to avoid prosecution had George III's image. They are copies of the 'spade guinea' (or half-guiney depending on the size - I think this is the ½ size). On the reverse is a spade-shaped shield with a coat of arms, the inscription IN MEMORY OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS and the date of 1788. Poor condition.
