Trying to find out a little more information on this token, such as what it was issued for, and obvious selling/swap value.
Looked in the Numista listings and could not find it.
Eventually, I hope to swap it for coins and/or banknotes, as I do not collect tokens
I can add it to Numista, if someone can tell me exactly which sub-section of Exonumia it goes in, please

Edge has an angled milling in the centre, with smooth outer edges
Translated wording on reverse. The City faithful in war and in peace
Ian,
This token is listed later on the Numista listings, but due to poor photographs, I am not too sure if it might be the same one, which means I do not need to add it.
British provincial 1/2 penny tokens, issued in the 1790s, are generally referred to as "Conder" tokens, because James Conder published the first comprehensive catalog on them. These tokens disappeared from circulation when the so-called 1797 "cartwheel" pennies where issued. Subsequently, in the 1811-1820 period, private mints started issuing one penny tokens. Since the best catalog on the subject was issued by Paul and Bente Withers, I tend to call them Withers tokens. You have Withers # 1243, see here for more info: https://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/W.1243.001.html
Whithers 1248 and 1249 are very similar, and there is not enough detail to determine which you have (and the one on Numista is even worse). Thus, I would suggest submitting your image to replace the one shown on Numista.
Due to the fact that I have two coins waiting for validation for two weeks, I have decided not to add this token to Numista.
I contacted a senior member of Numista when I listed the coins, but heard nothing, and coins are still pending.
One of the coins has been waiting since July 16th, and I know referee has been on the website, as he answered a question on the forum.
Also contacted a senior administrator two days after I added the coin, as the referee for the country in question, had failed to validate a few others I listed, but this senior administrator did.
