Niether obverse or reverse represented in Withers The Token Book 2.
A variant of W 2373-5.

To the best of my knowledge, an unpublished variety.

The name Bovril derived from the Latin bos, meaning OX and Johnston took the vril from E. Bulwer-Lytton's novel The Coming Race of 1870, the plot involves a superior race, the Vrils-ya, who get their powers from an electromagnetic substance called vril.
