Ltd (Shanghai Ice Cold Storage & Refrigeration Company). Centrally holed and with a plain edge. Some light hairlines from a cleaning.

This token was produced at Heaton Mint in Birmingham and would have been used by a wealthy person for procurement of 10 pounds worth of ice to cool their home or food in the summer.
