Obverse : M.A.M.Co within a dash circle inside raised rim.
Reverse : same as obverse.

It was listed within lot 298 of the 1995 Baldwin Auction of Dick Ford Collection, with the comment "Some perhaps of Ceylon"

This token is probably from Ceylon, but needs to be identified to be recognised as an estate token.
The Brass A.G.K.Borron Token (P#20) has the reverse, the same as the obverse.
The dash circle was used in the early 19th century Ceylon Silver Dump coins
The weight is exactly 100 to the pound weight.
