Okay, due to not getting a decent answer previously

I have now taken a better picture.

Any ideas now?

I preferred the first one. It had an air of mystery.

I found it in an attic many years ago.

Stab in the dark, but it looks like it might be something to do with the British Armed Forces.

Something tells me the OcUK community isn't the best place to ask.

No way, you have found the currency of the new world order!

Where did you get it? Are you a Rothschild?

Kristoph · 5 Oct 2009 at 23:29

I think that says

1 d

Which is appearing in google a lot on coins etc.

Possibly just a token or currency available to those in the armed forces to spend on base or something?

Finding what the 'd' stands for is proving near impossible though :/

Edit: Decimal?

1d = one penny

I'm guessing it's a ration token for serving members of the army to use in the canteen.

Tokens and Army Bills
It took the public some time to trust paper money. During the War of 1812, the colonies issued army bills to finance the war effort. They circulated in large numbers and when the war ended in 1815, the British government redeemed the bills at full value. This restored trust in paper money, which led to the rise of banks.
Tokens, of which many were imported from England, served as coins during this period. Some tokens were anonymous in that they did not indicate the name of any specific merchant or institution, while others did.
Tokens offered a discount on purchases, similarly to Canadian Tire money in the 20th and 21st Century.

Probably something similar but from a more recent time?
