Anybody know anything about these? I picked this up at a local shop as a curiosity.

    Yes it is. Conder101 or CosmicDebris will be along to help identify it.

    Your Conder token is catalogued as Hampshire Portsmouth #55 in The Provincial Token-Coinage of the 18th Century by Dalton & Hamer.

    There are 2 varieties of #55, depending on the edge.
    55 - PAYABLE AT SHARPS PORTSMOUTH AND CHALDECOTTS CHICHESTER
    55a - Milled edge

    55a has an RR rating while 55 is common.

    John Howard is a very interesting person in History. Well worth reading his life story.
