<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1589796, member: 40017&quot;]The distinction is fairly simple. The Bank of England issued these tokens in Silver (even if occasionally lower grade silver than might be expected) and as such they were a respected and acceptable currency in the years before the &quot;new&quot; coinage of 1816. The example that OP has listed is in Bronze and would have been made to fraudulently deceive someone.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Bank Of England tokens have a full listing in the Spinks Annual &quot;Coins of England&quot; and as such are part of the mainstream of British coinage. Most other tokens are listed separately in other publications, and were issued by private companies or individuals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paddy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
