    The following text taken from a book about it:

    "In 1830 there appeared a small satirical disc marking the downfall of the Duke of Wellington's government and his replacement as Premier by Lord Grey with the assistance of William IV; the reverse type with its inscription' By trampling on Liberty I lost the Reins' was reused on an obituary disc of William IV, 1837. "

    Not really sure how many of these were made.

    Believe it or not there are TONS of English tokens, some just are not easy to find.

    Here is one I want to find, commemorating King George III's 50 years of reign.
