A nice condition 2nd token issue of 1820 for James Spittles. Study ACSearch you'll see that the rims and edges of this series is often beat up, one even had deliberate edge cuts at regular intervals, this example is better than most. The reverse features the walls and ramparts of the Moorish Fort built in the Medieval period. They were finally driven out of the area in 1462. The edge is center slanted reeding right.
A wonderful site to read about the early history and tokens of Gibraltar is done by Neville Chipulina at "The People of Gibraltar" at his : [ link ]
