Comment
On this particular type, the centre limb of the first E in PENCE touches the top and bottom limbs of the E. There is another variety (Dalton~12, Davis#11) in which the centre limb of the E is clear of the top and bottom of that letter.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 6 Pence (Staffordshire - Fazeley / Peels, Harding and Co) 1811 from United Kingdom (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver is that it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of official currency in circulation, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute for official coins.
