ISLE OF MAN, Douglas, Douglas Bank Co (William Littler, Robert Littler and James Dove), Proof Penny, 1811, bronzed, douglas token, etc, rev. similar, edge grained, 12.65g/12h (W 2065b [not traced]; cf. Prid. 52a; cf. Harris Coll., 1923, lot 6). Light carbon specks in reverse field, otherwise virtually as struck and of the highest rarity £800-£1,000

From the illustration in the Harris sale catalogue it would appear that this is a different piece; regrettably the original Cokayne ticket does not survive
