@bojan, I've enjoyed looking at your posts today and hope to add a little more information about this R. H. London & Sons piece. I don't see it, or any of the other denominations listed on my normal go-to website: tokencatalog.com. However, here are a couple links to numista pages for a 4 Pence token and a 1 Shilling Pence issued by RH London & Sons. One thing that is interesting is that there is a discrepancy on whether these were used in England or South Africa.

Also, see this link for a previous CCF thread on a 2 Shilling token from the same issuer:

Issued by RH & Sons, London (Robert Hovenden, barber) 1 1/2 pence value
R. Hovenden & Sons, London (1872 -1902), were leading wig manufacturers and barbers of their day,
carrying the largest stock of real hair in the United Kingdom.
