1694 Elephant Token, Thick Planchet.


I also have a few Condor tokens and ancients with elephants, but those are less impressive.

The elephant tokens were struck in 1694 (aside from the Robinson copies), these tokens were not intended for actual circulation but more as medals/presentation pieces. The tokens drastically vary in weight from coin to coin, my particular example is a thick planchet variety weighing around 15 grams. The coin has a relatively small diameter, so in hand the piece has some heft.

If you have time, this is a very good article on them.
