Unknown Shakespear conder token - possible mule?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just found an conder token which looks to be mule or just very rare variety. On obverse is Shakespear's head left and lettered SHAKESPEAR, on reverse is ship with letters THE WOODEN WALLS OF OLD ENGLAND. I found many common tokens, but this obverse is combined with different reverses, and reverse is combined with different obverses. Has anyone some token catalog for reference?

Sounds like Dalton & Hamer Warwickshire No. 329 (Stratford):

Obv.: Bust to left; "SHAKESPEAR"

Rev.: A man-of war sailing; "THE WOODEN WALLS OF OLD ENGLAND"

Edge: PAYABLE IN LANCASTER LONDON OR LIVERPOOL

Or it could be variety 329a if the edge is Plain (not in collar).

The rarity of both are listed as "RRR" on a scale of Common, Scarce, R (rare), RR and RRR.
