Tokens and Tallies 1850 - 1950

The collecting of tokens has recently experienced a massive increase in interest. Many tokens were struck for small concerns with production runs in the low hundreds, and the varieties to be found are enormous. The massive social changes that took place during 1850-1950 are reflected on the designs of the small pieces of brass, copper, lead, plastic or embossed card used in the manufacture of these intriguing items of paranumismatica, with issuers ranging from public houses to chapels and co-operative establishments. With over 700 photographs covering much of the range of rare and not-so-rare tokens available to the collector, this book is an invaluable source of information to both the beginner and experienced collector alike.
