Today I found what I think is a token that is about the same size as a penny.
Unfortunately it has been railroaded and one side has no markings visible.

On the other I can just make out an image of a Kiwi standing with it's beak raised looking right.
above the Kiwi there seems to be some fern fronds or similar and on the right just below the
raised beak there is an oval shaped marking.

Just thought someone may have one in good nick with a pic perhaps.

Thanks.
Chris.
