UNLISTED. Whig Victory, 1834. Silvered brass. Plain edge. 25.7mm. Ship sailing left. The Low Plate Token for this variety, Plate I. This is most-likely the HT-14B that Rulau says may not exist.

Rev: Thare are small reverse linear marks which might be mint made. Shallow reverse rim tics at 7:00 positively match this to the Low plate.
