1812 WALTHAMSTON PENNY TOKEN

A historic penny token from 1812, issued in Walthamston during a period when official small change was scarce. This copper token bears the characteristic marks of early 19th-century provincial coinage and represents an important piece of local commercial history.

Walthamston tokens were produced by local merchants and tradespeople as a practical solution to the shortage of genuine pennies in circulation. Each token carries its own story of the era in which it was minted.
