zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 01:18 am Many of the tokens of that period are super cool. There seem to be great variety of them, and many are fairly inexpensive as well. You appear to have a very nice example. Mine are of lesser condition. Report this Post to the Staff

zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 08:57 am I assume that the figure on the coin is a Bishop or someone of such rank? What is that thing that looks like a bathroom plunger though? Did the Brits have indoor plumbing in 1793? Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 01/31/2010 4:42 pm I did some research and with the help of Alganbagerap and Coinzip.com found out this indeed a Brownbill Halfpenny. The inscription on the edge reads "Payable at H. Brownbills Silversmith." Very cool! The bishop is Bishop Blaze and he made a number of the obverses of the several districts' Conder Tokens used for money from 1787-1797 when there was no official UK currency.
