Description: | Duke of Lancaster/John of Gaunt token dating from 1791. In the 18th century, shortage of small change became so bad that these penny and halfpenny tokens were issued for workers. Unlike the 17th century tokens which were issued in the main by small traders, the 18th century tokens were pcincipally issued by large manufacturers such as breweries, mines, iorn works, cloth manufacturers and large copper works. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
