I have acquired this ... "thing" ...  yesterday, accidentally in an auction, it looks. I have properly entered in Numista, anyone have info on what is this, really? Lovely bronze from 1794, unquestionably from that age. What was it used for?
a free mason token? ... or just an entry token to the botanical garden? z)

The British Museum lists it as an admission ticket to the Bath's Botanic garden

The token is listed in the following catalogue:
Smith, Reginald A, Catalogue of the Montague Guest collection of badges, tokens and passes: presented in 1907 to the Department of British and Medieval Antiquities., London, BMP, 1930
I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.
Thank you, and of course feel free to add more info!
So, it seems it is worth the almost 2 USD I paid for it, right?

this is in reference to apuking, we have been cross-mailing it seems...
So, would these fall into the same category? (sorry no pic for later)

good ;)
The first one from your link is not a Conder token, the second one I believe is.
Here's a list of some of those here on Numista

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!

Likewise, if you see any of these: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces33125.html
going around for less them GBP 50, let me know, I will jump on them!  :)
