Pitt Shilling Coin Found In The UK

Barry

Do not know if this helps but maybe its an entry token of some sort like this one

Thanks for the welcome Rooneydog, thats fascinating thanks, so with tokens, presumably they printed the cost of the token on it so that if you give the fairground say one shilling, and they give you a token of that value and you know its of that value because it says on it one shilling so you know your not getting short changed or ripped off?
If thats correct, surely there would be a lot of people trying to pass off tokens as coins in everyday trade exchanges at their local shops etc., much like we return from foreign holidays with foreign loose change which no longer has much use out of its native country. Many thanks, Barry
