Comment
H. Morgan was a recognised and prolific token manufacturer.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Shilling (Leicestershire - Leicester / H. Morgan) ND (1811-1812) from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of small denomination coins in circulation, leading to the use of private token coins like this one as a substitute for official currency.
