British 18th and 19th Century Tokens

Description

We are delighted to offer a fine collection of 18th-century tokens, all in very good condition. This is followed by an exceptional group of approximately 150 19th-century copper tokens from the celebrated Francis Gissing Collection. Many of these pieces were originally acquired through Baldwin’s some 40 to 60 years ago and are largely ex-Cokayne, presented here in superb condition throughout. Also featured is a fascinating collection of around 200 English pub checks, dating from the 1850s to the 1890s, offering a unique glimpse into social history. In addition, the sale will include approximately 70 lots of miscellaneous 18th-century tokens from various other vendors, to be found throughout the auction.
