About MeThin disc stamped on one side with the name of the issuer and a value - 3d on this example.

This piece could be a co-op style dividend check or it may be a genuine market tally. These latter were extensively used as receipts for deposits made on containers at markets. The token was issued by a shoe store in The New Market, Aberdeen's famous city-centre indoor market.
