John Howard was an advocate for prisoner's right, and improvement of prison conditions.
Today, there is a John Howard Society in Canada, and perhaps there are similar groups in other countries.
This is a large, thick, and heavy one penny Conder Token. The token bears the date of Mr. Howard's demise.
Though a raw token, I'd estimate this example's grade at MS-64 or MS-65. It is now considered
Scarce

Could be Howard's name, but the portrait conveys a "Hollywood" type attitude.
Heck of a nicely perserved speciman (the coin that is).

Now for the translation of the text on the reverse...
Here goes nothing... "Haud ulli mortalium summa erga humanum genus benevolentia secundus"
"No ulli (any) state of being mortal the highest part, towards human kind benevolence second"

Larry,
Are you sure that this is a trader's currency token?
It looks more like a commemorative medal to me.
