A late 18th or 19th-century copper-alloy gaming piece or token, modelled after a coin of George III. The fact that this coin bears the reverse inscription 'remembering the good old days', suggests that it dates to a period later than the reign of George III (1760-1820), who is depicted on the obverse. The token weighs 1.83g, and measures 21mm in diameter.
