Pridmore catalogs the incuse D countermark is below the tortoise.
However this specimen and another illustrated in 1994 Taisei Baldwin Gillio Auction
of the Dick Ford collection(Lot#277) gives an additional variety with
incuse countermark D on tortoise.
The 600 dpi images of the token are displayed at 200 dpi.
I thank Shiran Cruse, Kandy, Sri Lanka, for the scans of this rare
countermark token variety from his collection.
