Pridmore #103 has token ½ below same T K and is smaller (20 mm) and made of Zinc.
The number ½ is assumed to represent a quarter task.
Above also looks like Zinc although listed in Pridmore and Auction catalog as Brass.

There many such locally manufactured tokens of similar fabric and style with issuer unknown.
For example CY 1 P#25 full token; P#26 half token; MD 1 P#71 token;
The full and half denominations is the justification of them being called coffee tokens.
