narper Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 A recent acquisition. Gibraltar’s 1 quarto token issued by Robert Keeling & Sons, dated 1810. Gibraltar, along with other British possessions, had only official currency from the middle 19th Century on, so the oldest native issues were private. As in other similar cases, these pieces are listed in Krause, who refers it as a small date variety. Hope you like it.

thedeadpoint Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Love the relief. The fields are so flat but the designs protrude so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 A beauty! This isn't as nice an example but it shows the "large date" variety: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
