Advertising Token - Beecroft and Sons toy shop Token

[Citizen H]

ah another different coin / token appears,

Coin distributed by Beecroft & Sons toy shop (Nottingham, United Kingdom) as a means of advertising. 

[Peckris 2]

Unusual to see a token with the king's head?

Interesting token. I suspect this would come under the heading "Gaming Token" as it loosely resembles the Guineas and half Guineas from the 18th century. Many gaming tokens included advertising on the reverse, though usually a little more subtle than that one!

Probably struck in brass and originally gilded.
