Vern's Comments:

The edge on this token is "plain". By that I mean that it appears that the edge has been flattened or filed to appear plain. In all liklihood it was modified to try to turn it into a D & H 18a, which is listed as RR. 18, however, is common.

England — Hampshire

D & H 18 — Emsworth
