De Orc - that's a nice extra bit of trivia and I thank you for posting it. Part of the fun for me in collecting these is learning all I can about their history and/or the events surrounding their mintage. Someday I will visit London and England and take in that wonderful country while getting a first hand look at the counties that these tokens represent.
On the other hand, I could buy a lot of tokens for the airfare!
Thanks for all the nice comments. As I collect these, I'll post some more on new pieces with the hope that I won't bore you.
