Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens/coins produced.
Conder tokens (or Provincial tokens) are so named for James Conder, a coin collector who initially catalogued them.
Provincial tokens were usually copper Pennies or Halfpennies minted by various businesses, towns or individuals. They are usually easily distinguishable from coins produced by the Royal Mint due to the images and inscriptions on them.
These tokens were often only exchangeable at the business concerned or in the general area they were minted for.
The concept of Provincial tokens was not exclusive to Britain, and spread through the British Empire very quickly.
They are quite collectible.
