Have seen pub tokens before Steve, it was a good way of ensuring that money was spent in your pub and not someone else's, that one looks quite modern though!

It's a pub check. Nothing to do with Christmas in a festive way though, Christmas Evans was the owner's name. See here:

http://www.alangeorge.co.uk/heolgerrig.htm

There was (is?) a pub in Gilfach Goch also called the Six Bells, and as far as I can see was also run by Christmas Evans. I think that Christmas Evans died in 1909, but don't know if he was the same man.
