gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 10:50 am In my quest of finding overstruck coins, I decided to branch out into other interesting tokens. I got this token dated 1840. I don't really collect British coins, much less tokens therefore clueless about what this could have been. This is an image of the 1840 token. When viewed in an angle, there seems to be a date of 1837 (?). As of what it could have looked like originally, I would like to see what it may have been. Will post bigger photos when I get around to it.
