I have a British token (ND), about the size of a 1/2d, with a man with a tri-cornered hat and "Earl Howe & the Glorious First of June" on the obverse and a three "Val. T Brit.Tish Tars" on the reverse. ANACS has identified it as DH-14a and graded it EF40. If you have any information or the value, I'd like to know. I'm sorry I'm not picture literate yet, but someone else might be able to show one.

What you've described is a "Conder token" -- or an 18th Century British Trade Token. Based on your description, it is the Hampshire halfpenny token (DH-14a), and is listed as scarce in the Dalton & Hamer (DH) reference. Estimated mintage of probably around 200-300 tokens. In EF40, I'd guess around $50 or so at the high end of value, but don't hold me to that estimate.


Here is a scan of that part of the page from Dalton & Hamer. Your token would be the leftmost image and the rightmost image.
