Description

A London Elephant Token variety where the reverse legend reads "GOD PRESERVE LON DON" with a clear separation between "LON" and "DON" as two distinct words, rather than the connected "LONDON" found on most varieties. Uses Hodder reverse die D. Distinct from the LON/DON diagonal break variety.

Rarity Notes

R.5. Scarce but more available than the Sword Right or Brass varieties.
