  May want to post this on the Darkside board...

  It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  I'll have to check a couple things but there are some Middlesex farthing Conder tokens shaped like that but there are also a lot of "imitation" spade guineas that are shaped like that as well. I suspect at the moment that it is one of the fakes. If he had mentioned the size it would have helped. The farthings are about nickel sized while the guineas are between quarter and half dollar size and thinner.

  Ok I looked in Dalton & Hamer and the only token with the scalloped edge that also uses a shield and the legend to the left of the date starts with M B is Worcestershire 33. And on it the shield has the county name on the shield not the Coat of Arms of England. So this is one of the spade guinea imitations. (I don't have the reference book on those yet. Yes, there is one.)
