Berkshire Tokens - 1819
Exbrit replied to Exbrit's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Wasn’t Englefield president of the Society of Antquaries from 1811-1812? So the 1817 date is still a mystery. Besides that if he did retire in 1817 from being president, why did they wait until 1819 to mint the tokens? -
Berkshire Tokens - 1819
Exbrit replied to Exbrit's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The 1817 date is my assumption as well, but why tokens of different metals and sizes? These are very interesting tokens and the silvers ones have been XRF analyzed for silver content. These go nicely together with the silver plaque or trial piece of Englefield. thank you for the email. -
Question - does anyone have an idea of why Henry Charles Englefield from Berkshire had several different sized and in different metals tokens with his portrait on the obverse and his initials on the reverse with ancient Greeks dates above and below his initials? What were these tokens used for? They were minted to simulate Ancient Greek coins in 1819 at the Soho Mint in Birmingham. The dates above and below his initials are his year of Birth (above) and 1817 (below). The sizes are approximately 32mm, 23mm, 20mm and 18mm and were made of silver with a uniface 32mm and the 18mm tokens in copper. Englefield was a rich Baron and belonged to several societies.

Assistance no longer needed. Please disregard -
Please refresh my memory - is there a token and/or medal book that includes D &W numbers? I am particularly interested in D & W 342/12a, 342/12b and 342/12c. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Ah! I missed the title of the post completely and went straight for the meat. Unfortunately, I was only in the area for a short time, otherwise I would join in a heartbeat. Good luck with recruiting new members. It’s tough at times. -

Which society are you referring to? I did not see mention of it at the BNS. Also - how did it go? Sounds like a very interesting presentation - one that I’d like to have attended. -
