<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Muzyck, post: 3242269, member: 83778&quot;]<b><i>Notes taken from The Standard Catalog Of World Coins</i></b> - There was a shortage of British coinage in New Zealand at the time and many merchant tokens circulated for commerce. This is a one penny token of merchants Milner &amp; Thompson of Christchurch. It is listed KM#Tn49. There is no date listed but other sources date it 1881. That would be at the end of the production of the tokens that began in 1857 and ended in 1881. The tokens continued to circulate until 1897 when British and Australian coinage became available in greater quantities. The catalog says there were 147 varieties. There are 5 pages of token listings in my 6th edition with a publishing date of 2009.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
