<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cheshire Cat, post: 2991953, member: 88887&quot;]Over the years I picked up a lot of different and strange tokens.&nbsp; One type that has caught my interest lately is the commercial tokens issued at the time of Queen Victoria&#039;s Diamond Jubilee in 1897.&nbsp; Has anyone complied a catalog of these tokens?&nbsp; There appears to be several varieties with the 4 Generations of British Royalty obverse dated 1896 and 1897.&nbsp; These appear to come in farthing and half penny size.&nbsp; The obverse was engraved by H. Grueber. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are others such as the Bovril tokens which use the company logos only to congratulate the Queen on her Diamond Jubilee.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any information, please post it.&nbsp; I&#039;m very interested in complying this information.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]738412[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=51889" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=51889" rel="nofollow">http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=51889</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
