<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prestoninanus, post: 790279, member: 20205&quot;]Some of the tokens were issued purely for collectors thanks to James Condor&#039;s work, it became quite a fashionable hobby amongst the well-to-do. I suspect some of the particularly high quality ones may have been struck for that purpose, although most of them were of higher quality than the official low denomination currency of the day struck by the RM, which by then was looking distinctly old-fashioned and amateurish compared to what Matthew Boulton and others were capable of with their modern steam-powered equipment...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
