What I find interesting is all the '1's are all different from each other. They probably didn't have a standard punch for the '1' like the did for the letters. The Bath token was intentionally made with the hole in the centre. If anybody has any others, please share. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Do all of the ones minted by Heaton have a large 1 on the reverse? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

bhmtokens New Member Canada 44 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 2:58 pm There are many coffee/tavern tokens with a 1 on them not issued by Heaton. I don't have a reference book specific to coffee/tavern or pub check tokens to give you a correct answer. In my years or collecting Heaton/Birmingham items, I haven't found any others with the Heaton name on them other than the ones I have posted. If anybody has different information, please share.
