Description
This Elephant token has the LON DON reverse. The elephant tokens are English copper pieces named for the elephant on the obverse. The London pieces are undated and placed about 1694, while the versions for Carolina and New England carry the date 1694 in the reverse legend. Michael Hodder numbered the dies in the 1987 Norweb sale catalogue, and his numbers are cited with those of Breen and the Whitman encyclopedia (W-). This is Hodder 2-D (Breen-190, W-12060); the reverse reads LON and DON between stars and leaves out GOD PRESERVE, and Breen called it the Godless London variety. Cataloged as PCGS #67.
