I'm a fan of these and have a whole bunch. Here's one of my favorites:
How in the world do you guys find all these error strike tokens/coins. Amazing. I have never seen one for sale other than a couple of forumites that sell them. I guess the price would probably drive me away.
That is a gorgeous token, especially with the strike.

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.....Mark Twain
As per my normal normal, I'll see something, become enamored with the design, buy it, then learn about what I got.
I know very little about this one other than it was called "Una and the Lion" by the seller. I guess I'll find out how big it is and what it's made of when it arrives.
Seller just said its about the same size as a silver dollar. Not sure if it's copper or brass from the photos. Seller called it "circulated." Looks like a nice AU to me. It has a little staining on the obverse but the reverse looks pretty clean.

Well, it shows that you have a good eye to what looks as a beautiful design Una and the Lion is probably one of THE most recognized British Coin design. One sold for over $800k
Even the remakes in silver and gold sell for multiples thousands! Ive tried to get one of the gold ones when released from the mint but so dang expensive! But do wish I bought the silver.....affordable and high graded ones sell for big bucks
.
As to your token I think its rather common but supper nice. I'm looking for an example too.
I just got these in and did some quick images. This pair of Mind Your Temper has the 13 star and Eagle reverse. Unreal as they still have some mint front and very reflective fields.

Like everything in life, there is no absolute consensus and various groups have different definitions. But, the most basic characteristic to differentiate the two is that tokens are generally used as a mode of exchange, while a medal is not.
New York governor and Democratic reformer Samuel J. Tilden won the popular vote for U.S. president in 1876, but fell one vote short of the 185 electoral votes necessary to seal the deal in the Electoral College. A 15-member Electoral Commission awarded the contested election to Republican Rutherford B. Hayes.
Two years later the Republican-oriented New York Tribune published decoded secret “cipher telegrams” allegedly sent by Tilden’s agents during the 1876 election dispute. The publication claimed these decoded ciphers showed attempted bribes of vote counters in Florida, South Carolina and Oregon.
Although it was discovered that Tilden used similar ciphers in his business dealings, he denied the charges and was personally cleared of involvement. However, the “scandal” gave fodder to his political opponents, and ruined his chances for renomination during the next election cycle.
The store card shown was not circulated by Tilden’s partisans, but circa 1878 to 1880 by his opponents, likely anti-Tilden Brooklyn Argus editor Demas Barnes, who also had a half interest in Drake’s Plantation Bitters.
The Democrat Barnes foretold “Tilden’s ‘Convention’ Bitters,” arising from his scandal, would cause his exit from the party stage at the next national convention in 1880.
Marketers at the time, taking their cue from secret coded ciphers that aided the North in winning the Civil War, jumped on the messaging bandwagon. This was especially true of the omnipresent proprietary medicine vendors, who proliferated trade style ciphers to increase public awareness of their products through “word of mouth” speculation in the marketplace.
The most famous cipher of the period was created for Patrick H. Drake’s proprietary cordial, Drake’s Plantation Bitters, advertised on the reverse of the illustrated store card. Drake’s enigmatic cipher “S. T. — 1860. — X.” was plastered worldwide. It was so omnipresent that it even invaded Mark Twain’s novel The Innocents Abroad and William Dean Howell’s novel The Rise of Silas Lapham.
Drake’s cabalistic slogan meant absolutely nothing, according to his ad agent George P. Rowell, and was only a gimmick to capture public attention.
The portent of Barnes’ anti-Tilden message is much less obscure: “Samuel J. Tilden 1880 exit.”
That 1880 convention was indeed politician Tilden’s last hurrah on the public stage, as Drake’s business partner Barnes had predicted.

Don't know anything about this token, I found it in one of my Aunt's junk boxes. Since she apparently didn't vaue it much, it is probably worth a fortune....
I suspect it is from one of the coal mine company stores.
This just came today. I think this is the 6th variety of this token that I've been able to find. Each has a slightly different background or foreground.
.
Some say WHISKEY some say WHISKIES. The WHISKIES I think are much rarer as this is only the second one I found with a different background...... A full brick wall behind him to our right, and slightly different grass.

HA had their token auction tonight. On first pass when the tokens were listed I didn’t see much, however upon reflection and closer examination there were a number of really nice Patriotic CWT. I probably bid strong on 8-10 lots. Of course, Many of the top pops went for stronger money again ($500 ish) and I lost out. At the end, I did manage to win 2. I picked up one of my targeted top two tokens. The other token was a top pop that for unexplained reasons to me, seemed to go cheap. I also misjudged three more common cwt tokens (but they had really nice eye appeal) that went off in a row. They went for slightly high(but within reason) prices, and I had hoped to win at least one, however misjudged and lost all three. Anyways here are the HA pics of the token I had targeted and was able to win. The grade isn’t spectacular, but I rarely see this design look this nice.

HA had their token auction tonight. On first pass when the tokens were listed I didn’t see much, however upon reflection and closer examination there were a number of really nice Patriotic CWT. I probably bid strong on 8-10 lots. Of course, Many of the top pops went for stronger money again ($500 ish) and I lost out. At the end, I did manage to win 2. I picked up one of my targeted top two tokens. The other token was a top pop that for unexplained reasons to me, seemed to go cheap. I also misjudged three more common cwt tokens (but they had really nice eye appeal) that went off in a row. They went for slightly high(but within reason) prices, and I had hoped to win at least one, however misjudged and lost all three. Anyways here are the HA pics of the token I had targeted and was able to win. The grade isn’t spectacular, but I rarely see this design look this nice.
