However there is not much to find about this one. There are a few similair but with dates. How can you distinct them in rarity and find more about this?

Communion Tokens of the Free Church of Scotland. Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland vol.79 [7th series, vol.7] pp.26-80. This loken is listed as number 198 in this work.

tokenscot Valued Member United Kingdom 82 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 06:27 am The piece is not dated in the catalogue but obviously dates from after 1843 when the disruption of the Church of Scotland resulted in the formation of the Free Church of Scotland. There is no minister named on it to narrow down the date of issue but from its appearance it looks to be from the mid to late Victorian period. Note that the listings of these communion tokens that were published in the PSAS are now available online. The link for the free church pieces is http://journals.socantscot.org/inde...le/view/8230. Wiggle your way around the Society's website will get you to other listings. Kerr, R., (MA, FSAScot), & Lamb, Rev J.A., (BD, PhD, FSAScot), 1946-47. Scottish Episcopal Communion Tokens. PSAS vol.81 [7th series, vol.9] pp.118-133. Kerr, R., (MA, FSAScot), & Lockie, J.R., (FSAScot), 1940-41. Unpublished Tokens of the Church of Scotland. PSAS vol.75 [7th series, vol.3] pp.144-183.
