Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of private token use in England, predominantly during the 17th century. Private tokens were often issued by businesses, tradesmen, and public figures in the absence of an established state-issued coinage system. The author, an expert in numismatics, explores the societal conditions that led to the use of private tokens, including the failure of the royal farthing tokens introduced by King James I. The book chronologically discusses various token designs used, legal battles over their use, and significant figures involved in the trade. Through an analysis of token imagery, the author uncovers insights into the commercial and political climate of the time, revealing the tokens to be reflections of broader socio-economic trends. This book is not only a valuable resource for numismatists and historians but also a fascinating read for anyone curious about the evolution of money and its impact on everyday life.
