R&W or Samson? ...perhaps neither!

This unusual token has had the obverse milled off, totally removing whatever was there. The reverse tells me it was a token that was used with both an R&W [Ruffler & Walker] and a Samson obverse.

Penny-sized brass, 30.1mm. A centre hole has also been added which has removed either a figure 1 or 2 that is normally in that position.

Obviously cleaned before arriving at my door but worth having nevertheless as it is such an unusual piece.

Typical Samson and R&W obverse follow below.

On fair grounds, you will find a game called coin pusher, usually played with penny-sized coins or tokens. I guess someone wanted cheap, anonymous tokens for his game.
