Help identifying unusual jeton/token – single figure / two figures [solved]

Hello everyone - I’m trying to identify this jeton/token and I haven’t been able to find a match in any major catalogue or online archive.

Specs:
• Diameter: 27.5 mm
• Weight: 6.2 g
• Metal: brass/copper/bronze?
• Alignment: coin alignment
 

Side A:
• Full-length robed figure facing right.
• Right arm points downward; left arm stretches outward.
• A horizontal exergual line below the figure.
• Beneath the line, clear seriffed letters: K E (part of a longer inscription, but only KE is strongly visible).
 

Side B:
• Two full-length figures standing left and right, both with arms raised.
• Between them is a central object that looks like a shield or panel.
• Along the curved left border I can read D S (the “S” is rounded).
• Other letters are too worn to confirm.
 

Style notes:
• The lettering is definitely Latin alphabet, not Greek (seriffed K, rounded S).
• The iconography is reminiscent of French / Germanic jetons of the 16th-18th century, but I cannot find a close die match in Mitchiner, Barnard, Nuremberg jeton types, or Low Countries issues.

If anyone recognises the die, knows of similar two-figure jetons with field letters, or can point me toward a specific maker (“KE”?) or workshop, I’d be extremely grateful. Even vague leads or partial matches are helpful. This one doesn’t appear in the obvious references.

Thank you in advance!

 Side B 

1. Yes lettering curves on left and right sides, 

but also looks like some straight lettering across the top, 

dividing them - such as in smaller lettering looks 

like it reads OF just right of centre. 

2. Yes DS lettering, then something, and then O letter maybe - 

so then what word has DS?O included? 

3. Compared to the other side, this has a higher up exergue, 

and maybe it has three or four rows of small lettering 

in it, such as first line may have A along it. 

4. Lowest part of the shield looks to have a circular design on it, 

then a lot of above it seems to be vertical lines. 

 All guesses of course, but still looking … 

 Maybe that lettering on the left is a place name, 

with -DSTON or -DSTOW or -DSFORD ending. Must be a short name as 

just below the D is room for maybe one or two letters only, 

as the exergue line then goes across just there. 

 Though … maybe it is not an English token, 

so could be from anywhere - EDSTO… ? 

 Perhaps even not a place but some Latin wording? 

  Side A 

1. On the left of the standing figure is it a throne? 

2. At his/her feet is it a small dog? 

3. Is his/her bent left arm holding a severed head? 

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve tried to get a differently lit image that shows the lettering a little better.

On the right side of the face with 2 figures, it very much appears as “PE” (top side of the new image below, but around 4 o’clock when oriented correctly). More apparent when held in the hand, and reflected against a light. 

 Then two letters before that is a D maybe - 

so making D?PE then … 

Just to close this off, I’ve found it.

Maidstone, Kent, Halfpenny token 1795.
