Free Beer Money by Ralph Hayes in the Token Corresponding Society Bulletin Vol.9 No.4 September 2008 Page 149 :
....these tokens were issued C.1976 in public houses or hotels that sold Watney's Beer on a regular basis. One was given to a customer who purchased a pint of Watney's; the system being that when he had 6 of them he could hand them over instead of money for a free 7th pint. They are known to be numbered from 01 to 99 but as yet no number has been seen higher than this. They are all brass apart from a variety for food which has a silvered finish and a stated value of 25p. These pieces were issued for pub numbers 36, 37 & 38 in addition to the brass beer pieces with the same number. Of course there may be more of these? They are not as common as the brass types. The only piece known with a location is pub number 53 which was issued at the Market Hotel, Alton, Hants. The only variety found is pub no.95 which has 2p written on both sides with a black permanent marker pen.....
