21 buttons, shoe buckles, 1789 farthing size KG III

[8Reales]

Back to the wooded park, looking for an old
Mill site, found it, but even better found an other colonial hot spot, broke my button record, 21 in one hunt, half are tombacs, only coin is the farthing size KG III.





These came from the mill site

Interesting ‘token’. I’ve seen them in farthing size and halfpenny size. Although they may well have circulated as tokens to alleviate the desperate shortage of small coins (as did almost anything copper with approximately the right size) these were ostensibly issued as commemorative medalets for royal visits.



In this case, the town is Weymouth in Dorset, England which the King visited on 30th June 1789. Identical examples exist with different dates and other town names, coincident with royal visits to those places.

The 3rd picture down on the let look like it might be a die as in dice made from a musket ball. I'm sure that that sites want to give!
