    Description

    1790's Thomas Spence Middlesex Odd Fellows with Political Opposition Pitt crying and Fox laughing, on the Obverse Quis Rides, the reverse features a Heart in Hand and the word Honour above. Great Britain Conder/Provincial Token Colonial: Collectible Rare coin
    Due to the shortage of Regal coinage in the 1790's and the fact that the population of Great Britain had nearly quadrupled, the masses were forces to either create non-regal coinage of George III (1760-1820) or with permission from The Crown, they produced their own copper coinage to be used as change for workers and business customers.
    These Provincial or Conder Tokens were widely produced so based on the image or business depicted on these tokens they have been collected and used both throughout Europe and here in the US.
    Thanks for looking, other items listed might hold interest, I enjoy early US Colonial coinage and several items currently listed.
    Thanks for looking, International please inquire, No China.
