British India / Pakistan Habib Bank Ltd, ½ Tola Gold Token, NGC AU-50
Issued from the dying days of the Raj to the early days of Independant Pakistan ), this hexagonal gold Token is rather scarce if not Rare. The Tola is a very old unit in the subcontinant, equivalent to aprox. 12.5gr, so this Token weighs aprox. 6.25gr. We can find no reference to this particular type, with a lion holding a scimitar, surrounded by presumably Urdu text & the initials "HB" on the other side, with English text.
