Modern copper alloy token. The token is oval in plan. In the centre of the token is a large number '5/' (five shillings). Around the perimeter, in capital letters arranged in two concentric rings are the words: [WELLS &] WOOKEY HOLE COOPERATIVE and on the inner [INDUSTRIAL &] PROVIDENTIAL [SOCY LIMITED] The reverse is plain.
The society existed in 1868 as the National Archives hold documents of this date but further research could improve this dating. A similar token is recorded in Minnitt and Young (1990:88) no.219.

A late 18th or 19th-century copper-alloy gaming piece or token, modelled after a coin of George III.

The token weighs 1.83g, and measures 21mm in diameter.

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'.
