1811 BEWICKE PENNY TOKEN

A scarce early 19th-century penny token issued by Bewicke in 1811. This copper piece represents an interesting period in British numismatic history when local tradesmen and businesses produced their own tokens for circulation. The token bears authentic patina consistent with its age and provides a tangible link to Georgian-era commerce. An appealing addition to any collection of British tokens or local currency memorabilia.
