Drusus had given me the idea for this section.If you have any coins depicting executions,please post them here.Drusus will no doubt post photos of British Isles traders' tokens depicting strung up men hanging from gallows & gibbets. Aidan.
I'll just repost from the other thread... "End of Pain" and / or "wrongs of man" Hanging man Issues...conder tokens...there are quite a few more but you get the message. Most are similar with several or one man hanging.
I cannot think of another coin that has the theme...understandably that wouldnt be a common theme for most official issued coins...Closest thing I can think of are the captive Roman coins: or fallen horsemen being stabbed...you know many of those bound captives are bound for executions
Wow. I never would have thought there were coins depicting executions! Those are some of the most interesting peices I've ever seen. Are those expensive? And if not, how might I attain one??
Yarm,that is a nice piece depicting an execution,plus conveying a very strongly anti-slavery message. Aidan.
I like the message on that one: 'Liberty not slavery'. Adam, they sell some conder tokens on ebay, vcoins, the copper corner, and abc coins among others. They come in all different prices depending as usual on rarity and condition. I can assure you that there will be people wanting the slavery and hangman coins, they sell fast and at auction they get bidders. http://www.thecoppercorner.com/forsale/pricelist.html http://www.vcoins.com http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/Coin%20Index.html
Drusus,is there an actual forum,as opposed to an online store selling coins where we can talk about British Isles traders' tokens? Aidan.
I am not aware of any real active Conder token Forums though I know there are other coin forums that discuss them or have a section for copper cworld coins and and / or medals. The only somewhat active Conder Token only discussion I am aware of is the Yahoo Group Though I am sure there might be one I am not aware of. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Conders/ http://www.unsogno.net/conders/ ^^ thats a good little portal site where you can find a lot of links and info as well as information on sales. http://conderclub.homestead.com/ ^^ Conder Token Collectors Club, they publish the Conder Token Collectors Journal http://www.britishcoincollector.co.uk/ http://www.coppercoins.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9 ^^few other sites but they do not just deal in conders
