Hello Imre, It is an entry token to the Baths within the Somerset Botanical Gardens, I had this one until I sold it on Ebay and got just over £17 + P&P
Thanks a lot to all of you.
It seems that my observation of the rule, that the "general value of a coin decreases exponentially divergend from the source of origin" becomes true in this case as well;
e.g. shall I warn any of you if I see these at an auction closing at around GBP 1,47?
... you still can sell for sell for GBP17!
