Default ID an 1861 Ballarat Token? Help please.

I have located the Obverse in Rennicks Oz Coins 21st Edition, but the
Reverse is very different. This is either a fake, OR a very rare find.
It belongs to a neighbour - and may be auctioned later on Ebay. Any help
in ID'ing would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Please email me direct at (nova43attpg.com.au exchange 'at' for '@')

JR Grundy did issue tokens in 1861, but the one depicted is not listed
in Andrews. Similar ones would be #155, #156, #157, and #158. However
none state "Series One". Just my guess, non-contemporary repro.

That was my thought - but I am hoping that this isn't 'fake'. Would be
nice to find a truly rare item. Perhaps I'll place it up for auction &
see what transpires.
