On reading Bell's book mentioned in the link, it would appear that your token is a "private token" rather than one issued for trade. Bell says only 48 were minted. Private tokens were issued by collectors for other collectors.

What a superb find!

Wow , that is almost...well for lack of a better
term incredible
Thank you ! Guess $3 Canadian is a good deal then.
But honestly for myself regardless of the monetary value
How did it get to a flea market in Ontario , Can.
considering the "mintage"? a British penny from the era ?
there's hundreds if not thousands here , but this?
I believe this phrase is warranted and I quote (of course)
"The game's afoot"

Thx again
