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.

Cu-alloy token or counter dating from the late 18th century. The major series of these cu-alloy tokens or counters which are depicting Queen Anne appears to have been struck in Birmingham during the reign of George III. Counters of that class bear designs based on Queen Anne's shillings and sixpences: all bear the pre-Union form of shields...and show the mis-spelling 'RIG' for 'REG' which can be seen on this counter, too. Observed dates for pieces run from 1702-1774. This one is dated '1771'.

Crudely cast small lead token. Post-medieval 17th-18th century in date. Obverse depicts line design with which form rough cross shape markings. Reverse is badly worn but faintly depicts cross-hatching. It is unclear as to why lead tokens were produced although they appear numerous in the 17th and 18th centuries (Bailey 1999 page 56). They may have been produced as a form of working class low denomination currency associated with rural areas (Bailey 2000 pages 13-14). Alternative uses may have been for payment of casual workers or gambling (ibid. page 14).

Silver 'love token', probably late 17th/early 18th century. At that time, medieval and post medieval hammered silver coins were used as 'amulets' after they have been rendered useless by bending and perforating it. Sometimes the coin can still be identified; this specimen, however, has been rendered unrecognisable.

Post-medieval coin hoard from Newton-with-Scales, Lancashire (2004T30) I have examined a group of coins reported found at Newton with Scales in January 2004. The coins are all official English issues of the traditional sterling standard, i.e. 92/5% fine metal.The coins consist of three denominations: 11 groats (fourpences) of Mary and Elizabeth Tudor, and a sixpence and 7 threepences of Elizabeth, amounting to a sum with a face value of five shillings and fivepence, which would be something like £20-30 in modern terms.The coins would certainly have circulated together, and the lim…
