Buy 10 or more coins and take 15% off The Conder tokens of the late eighteenth century
came into being out of necessity. The British government had ceased production of copper
coinage in 1775 and light weight forgeries soon circulated in large numbers. Many
exasperated tradespeople demonstrated their independence and commonsense by issuing small
change of their own. Much of the legitimate regal coinage was worn thin beyond
recognition. Collecting Conder tokens, named after James Conder who originally indexed the varieties of tokens available, has been popular since shortly after they were first manufactured, resulting in the availability today of many highly preserved examples for collectors. In spite of being illegal, the tokens immediately became extremely popular and accepted locally as a regular medium of exchange. Most of these tokens were of
good weight and material, equal at least to that of the genuine regal coinage.
