Kiobenhavns Sporvei Vibh. counterstamped 11. Brass. 24mm. Somod number 45. Not listed in Smith catalog.
From the Somod catalog: The abbreviation Vibh. means Vibenshus. The numbers 1-15 were the different drivers number as an extra check.
Kiobenhavns Sporvie-Selskab was in operation from 1866-1898.

It sounds like they were used by drivers, rather than passengers. Do you know how were they used?

The Somod book says they were control tokens that were issued to passengers, to be given to the tram driver on departure.

Københavns Sporvej continued a long time after 1898 - it is the company behind the KS Little Mermaid tokens from the 1960s/70s. The spelling on the token above is archaic, though, and probably does date from before WW1.

From the Sporvogne i Danmark website:
Sporvogne i Danmark
Kjøbenhavns Sporvei-Selskab 1866-1898
Københavns Sporveje 1911-1974
The Kiobenhavns Sporvei tokens are numbers 35-51 in the Somod catalog. The dating he gives is numbers 1-34 were used from 1863. Numbers 35-51 were used later, but were replaced long before the turn of the century.
