I was sent the following link by Jean-Luc Dufond of Belgium. It's a pretty interesting story as I suspected. Jean-Luc also sent an image of a similar token of another of the defendants in the case, T. Hardy.

D & H 1047 - J. H. Tooke
O:	The name below the bust is more spread so as to come under the beginning and end of upper legend.
R:	A. 152 Similar, but the Y between R and Y of "JURY."
