Description
The 1796 Silver Token Myddelton is filed under Myddleton Tokens in the Post-1776 Private and Regional Issues (1778-1820) series. The Myddelton tokens dated 1796 came from Boulton and Watt's works near Birmingham. Hope presents two children to a woman holding a liberty cap on a staff, with BRITISH SETTLEMENT KENTUCKY; the reverse shows a mourning Britannia and the words PAYABLE BY P. P. P. MYDDELTON. Crosby records them in silver and copper with a plain edge, and the same obverse in copper with the reverse of the Copper Company of Upper Canada. PCGS lists it as #649.
