Comments

Undated token, circa 1795-1801 made by James.

Advertising Pidcock’s exhibition of living animals at the Exeter Change, Strand, London, England.

There are two similar tokens – the same design both sides, but the edge is different.

This one is with a milled edge (Batty# 457), the other one is with a plain edge (Batty# 465).
