Hi, Its quite worn but the words I can make out on the front are "Harper, 3D and King Street" and on the back "Twist". Does anyone recognise this?
Thanks

Also found out this could be from king street in London, sorry to confuse you but it is more than likely a store/company token maybe even from a brewery

Tobacco token?
Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.

How they really worked was that fact that you/your family could buy credit from these companies, and use their vouchers to buy what you wanted, but receive their coins/money in exchange, giving you no alternative but to spend it within their company. Jobling's used the same system as did many other companies within the UK and probably overseas.
