Public House Token

[Paulus]

Does anyone know anything about these, or can point me to a link?

I like the odd numismatic item that speaks of social history, they can be picked up on eBay now and then for next to nothing.

Do any members have collections and knowledge of these?

These fetch good money, congratulations.

The British Workman's Public House Co Ltd was part of the Victorian temperance movement. A rather patriarchal attempt to keep the lower orders sober enough to work for a pittance.
