The obverse image is incorrect. Shows SERIES ONE instead of SERIES TWO.

The reverse image is of an actual Tradesmen Token with a hole to the left. This hole is nowhere in sight on the obverse image. 

The tradesmen tokens issued for that area (Ballarat) in the 1860/70s did not use that obverse for any issues.

The Tower Head obverse was used for a modern Sovereign Hill Tourist Souvenir series issued in the 1980s.

 

 

The correct configuration for that token in the Sovereign Hill Tourist Souvenir series is shown in N#402797

Token - Sovereign Hill - W.R. Watson Tourist Souvenir

See also the Powerhouse Museum which it has listed as a tourist token.

 

Powerhouse Collection - Sovereign Hill tourist token

 

the other two in the series are:

N#400823 Token - Sovereign Hill - J.R. Grundy Tourist Souvenir

N#400825 Token - Sovereign Hill - Southward & Sumpton Tourist Souvenir

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia400825.html#:~:text=N%23,400825

 

The three tokens in the series used new dies made by STOKES based on the original tradesmen tokens used in Ballarat during the gold rush era. They were sold as tourist souvenirs at the Sovereign Hill Tourist Park
