Comment
Warwickshire, Birmingham and Deritend. Circa 1826 date.Catalogue: Mirchiner 7974
This is a very fine lightweight advertising token from about 1800-1830 (?) and is amazing in the detail it displays; it's even marked with the makers mark of the token maker! Under the picture of the Civet Cat it's signed in the grass at its feet "T. W. Ingram Birmm" and the token is covered on each side with advertising. These people really tried selling everything fancy and luxury.
