Description |
English: Copper alloy Unoffical Farthing Bell Lancashire No.28 Batty 164 token dating 1837-1870AD. The obverse depicts 'OLD POST OFFICE BUILDINGS 24 CHURCH STREET LIVERPOOL' and the reverse legend is 'F L HAUSBERG JEWELLER WATCHMAKER HANDVACTURER OF DESKS DRESSING CASES LAMPS CHANDELIERS & CO'. The diameter is 24mm and the weight 3.99g. These tokens, all farthings in size and value, were issued by merchants for use as small change during the reign of Queen Victoria. This interesting group of tokens were struck primarily by merchants during the years 1837-1870. Being of approximate farthing size, and used as both advertising pieces and small change where needed, the name "Unofficial Farthings" was given to the group. Listed by R. C. Bell in his work on the subject, they have been expanded upon by Bell-Whitmore-Sweeney in a 1994 update, Bell's Unofficial farthings -- a Supplement. The update lists the pieces in a more fluid manner, with totally adjusted rarity ratings. One needs both books, however, as the update lists many more pieces, but concords to Bell's original work for description. The diameter is 24mm and the weight 3.99g. |
