Marginal example but better than average usually encountered. There seems to be at least three varieties struck. You'll find a small date variety that is much scarcer than this large date. This type has a high relief where the castle center is weakly struck and there is a low relief type where the castle tends to be evenly struck. You'll see types without rims and ones with slight rims and denticles. Center tower on reverse is usually weakly struck due to the heavy lion body on the obverse. Keeling and Sons issue of 1810. He had the first token issues for Gibraltar in 1802, which can also be seen here in the Museum.
