<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hiho, post: 876284, member: 21869&quot;]A &quot;Pidcock&quot; is a Conder token minted by Pidcock&#039;s Exhibition, which was essentially a small private zoo in London. Every token (except the one above) features a bird or mammal from the zoo on each side of the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Pidcock&#039;s half pennies are Middlesex D&amp;H #414 through 458, quite a range, while the farthings are Middlesex D&amp;H #1064 through 1073.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why they chose Louis 16th is anyone&#039;s guess. Either Pidcock&#039;s management considered him an animal (doubtful) or they felt sorry for him. He was a decent man during a time when decency was not in vogue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
