Dunedin Corporation Tramways - aluminium token issued only for a short period in 1906 and early 1907, according to recent research. They weren't popular because of the sharp corners (despite the "octagon" association with Dunedin!) and were withdrawn. Note that the date 1865 on the token is the date the Dunedin City Council was established, not the date of issue.

These penny tokens were originally sold in packs of 14 for a shilling, giving buyers two free tokens or a 14% discount.

Auction is for one sealed pack - wrapped for almost 120 years now! Separate token shown for reference only.
