Scottishmoney Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Raven Taverne in Gloucester Farthing 1650 http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/935309.jpg Beccles Suffolk Farthing 1670 http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/935311.jpg Birmingham Threepence, 1813 http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/935312.jpg Raven Taverne in Gloucester Farthing 1650 Some of the most fascinating tokens were those issued by innkeepers and tavern keepers, this curious and cute little token was issued ca. 1650 by William Warwick, whom owned the Raven Taverne in Gloucester. Beccles Suffolk Farthing 1670 Beccles, in Suffolk, has the distinction of issuing one of the more unusual round farthings, this features a house and a shepherd's pen with sheep. This surely must have been reflective of a prominent occupation at that time. Because of the unique design, this piece is my favourite 17th century token. In later times Beccles was known for being a fishing centre, and now light industry have taken over. Birmingham Threepence, 1813 Britain's largest circulating token, this threepence from Birmingham Workhouse weighs in at a rather hefty three ounces, and could have been used as a weapon if strategically pitched. Because of the size of this piece, many of them seem to have been used as grape shot during the Napoleonic wars, they are beaten up and bruised. Nice examples like this are rather difficult to find now. - edited tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
