Thanks for sharing such a fabulous bit of English Banking history.  It has the look of one of those old 18/19thCentury Tokens about it and I wonder if its older than the estimate; particularly as it has "Co" and not "Ltd" on it.    You could so easily miss this in a rummage....
 

Then there's  another Feb Order - the "variable" thickness Queens Beast 10oz Unicorn....? maybe my imagination?   has anyone actually weighed one or checked the thickness's (plural)?
Its still a very attractive creature. but if they had only matted the engraving of the Unicorn like Valiants horse and it would have given it depth and it would be outstanding ..
 

Part of the Feb Order I am so pleased to have bought this "Valiant"......
All I need now is for the RM to produce an  Ivanhoe, Lochinvar and Sir William Marshal (greatest Knight ever) and I will be very, very happy.
Just look at the way this finish on the horse stands out at the right angle and the detail of the bridle, not to mention the Dragons chest scales.
It's a shame they didn't use one of the queens younger "Princess" images to romanticise it........
(What a shame the plastic case scratches so easily)

Nice stack - interesting coin I believe was withdrawn after only a few years circulation as worth more than face value??   I reckon a good circulated coin to own - nice!
