Eighteen Pence Bank Tokens of George III
divider
The Bank of England Token of 1/6 (One Shilling & Sixpence) or Eighteen Pence was issued during the reign of King George III (1760–1820) to address a shortage of silver coinage. Minted between 1811 and 1816, these tokens were produced by the Bank of England as a temporary solution for commerce. They featured a portrait of George III on the obverse and a crowned denomination inscription on the reverse. Struck in silver, they circulated alongside other emergency coinage. As the economy stabilized and offi cial coinage resumed, these tokens were withdrawn. We have on offer a group of Eighteen Pence Tokens in 3 different grades, they feature the king’s ‘Bull Head’, they’re available in 3 grades - Very Fine, Extremely Fine or the fabulous Choice Uncirculated, you choose.
