Koperen 2 Quartos Gibraltar 1820 bewerkt

 

These tokens, although bearing the British Lion guarding the Key of the fortress were unofficial issues. The reverses of these were a wreath topped by a crown for Cattons and the Moorish Castle & City Walls (apparently) for Spittle.

Interesting engravings. Sunbeams around punched hole, ghost figure in sky, extra waves in the sea, extra tails on lion, other decorations. Montagegaatje
