Ian Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 not halfpennies....but since the last one posted was from `Birmingham', here's it's big brother and an uncle! copper penny (Birmingham Workhouse) dated 1812, and a copper three pence (Birmingham Workhouse) dated 1813. The three pence is the size of a small hockey puck and you would definitely need assistance to carry around eighty of these if you were buying anything valued at 1 pound. There's an example of the silver workhouse shilling in the `silver shilling tokens' thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an example of the silver workhouse shilling in the `silver shilling tokens' thread. These are neat tokens. I remember reading a piece a number of years ago about the Workhouse Tokens. I think it may have been in the Numismatist. I'll see if I can find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
