Cool token, here's mine and a couple of badges, the 4th one down is a French Wedding medal with edge lettering from 1858 =silver!

 

Here's a few more!

 

I recently picked up this token to add to my coin related exonumia collection.

It wasn't sold as such but looks like a die trial to me...no reverse image on it though the finished token has one. Metal is uncertain but it was described as nickel or white metal by the seller. It's about 30mm and looks like silver. It's also very thin.

I've attached images of my piece plus one of the reverse from a finished one. Sorry about the poor quality. Your comments are appreciated.

I like thin planchets. I guess they can save some money on them too which help the members.

Was it ever determined why the 5 looked that way? Was Hull hitting the "purified water" early that day?

 

I like thin planchets too. In the "old days" a lot of odd shaped letters and numbers were cut into dies. I've seen many examples of a 1 in a date that actually looks like a J...a 1 with a short curl on the bottom left. "purified water" sounds like a good reason to me.
