British Token George III undated, Dick Seymour Silver King

Anyone seen this one before.

Its similar to the brass counterfeit Guinea gambling tokens but this is undated.

"Dick Seymour Silver King"

I`m mystified.

Just bumping this and just realised if you change the name around it could be interpreted as
being a pornographic slogan See More D... Oh dear LOL

 

The UK national archives has a photograph (not online):

I think that a "Turf Accountant" takes bets on British horse racing.

Thankyou for that, your search brought up more than mine, this is the only item that can be found with the same name.

I`m wondering if its an advertising token, I might call the Turf Accountants (Bookies) up and ask if they know anything about it.

 

Dick Seymour was my great (great, I think) grandfather. I think I remember my dad telling me that he sold these coins to the rag and bone man when he was a small boy.
