1788 English Coin - Token ID

It is a brass replica of a gold guinea. These were made as card-game gambling tokens, often sold in a little bag with a pack of cards. Britain eventually tightened the laws, prohibiting "lookalike" card tokens such as these. I believe these guinea tokens usually date from the period around 1800-1850.

They were usually produced by the button and badge making companies in Birmingham, though some were produced overseas and imported. Often, the manufacturer encodes their name into the abbreviated Latin inscription. This one seems to have been made by a "Charles Peverell" (you can read the name to the left of the shield).

Not too valuable, especially in this condition. These guys sell them in much better condition for six pounds apiece.
