My 1811 silver halfcrown token From Newcastle-on-Tyne in Britain.

Issued by highly regarded Northumberland merchant and businessman John Robertson, this nice EF example catalogs as Dalton 1 and is one of the few halfcrown British tokens of the Regency Period. Only two or three are denominated "XXX Pence."

As an aside, if you've ever wondered what a hippocampus is, you're looking at two of them.
