Token issue of James Spittle. Reverse shows a different view of the fortifications featured on most coins and tokens of Gibraltar. KM# Tn8. "Vale Un Quarto", a denomination used in Spain at the time. I assume the British Lion holds the Key that is often associated with the coins that depict the portcullis and key theme. Hard to find in much better condition than this.
I believe I've found a half penny Conder token of 1795 which is an issue for I. Spittle (D&H 902) at his warehouse in London. D&H says that he declared bankruptcy in London in 1797, perhaps he had moved on to Gibraltar, or a son took over the business. Time to do some research to determine if this is the same family.
