This is a Patina or retro-pattern to show you what Russian coins could have looked like. You have the bareheaded bust of Czar Nicholas I and retro dated 1825. We believe the final mintage in Proof Sterling Silver was something like 300 pieces. You have Nicholas’ bust on one side and crowned double headed eagle on the reverse. The workmanship is superb, finer than on the Russian attempt. Choice Proof condition, struck in Sterling Silver and with a very low mintage, what more could you ask for? How about a special price? Well this price is special! We are not sure how much they were selling for, but we have just 38 pieces available for sale. You would expect to pay £80-£100 for something like this. How about £48.50? But there are only 38 pieces available.

The co-operative movement, which expanded rapidly after originating in Rochdale in 1844, was based on the concept that its profits were returned to the members in the form of a dividend, calculated as a proportion of each pound spent. The dividend could not be declared until accounts were made up, and it was not easy to keep track of every member’s spending in the meantime. A solution was to give an equivalent face value in tokens with every purchase. When the dividend was declared, all tokens brought in were exchanged at the dividend rate. The redeemed tokens could then be issued again. Many tokens were issued with the value expressed in terms of the goods themselves, such as bread or 1/4 lb. of tea rather than a monetary value.
