A truly scarce memento of the scarcity of hard coinage in Great Britain in the early 19th century.
Although the mintage figure of this coin is known, any collector familiar with the series will readily attest that it is far tougher to come by than the equivalent token or dollar struck for the Bank of England in the same year.
This particular example shows evidence of minimal circulation, all of the major design elements remain clear. The surfaces may have been lightly rubbed many years ago, however the coin clearly retains an original patina.
It remains a tangible memento of the scarcity of hard coinage in Great Britain in the early 19th century.
