Queen Victoria Coin/Token Unknown

[newheart]

I was bidding on this little beauty on eBay, but could not find anything like it online. Could it have been a proof/test coin? Seller told me it was about 20mm diameter. The final bids went way over my bid. Even though I did not win, I would love to know what it is!

Full credit for the photos go to the eBay seller.

I was going to bid on this one too but like you it went above my limit. it looks exquisite and I'm guessing it's a card token of some kind as the reverse shield has what looks like a spade in the centre of it

I also did a google search for tokens by Allen & Moore but nothing came up

It also means that there's another three designs to look out for!
