Comment
Several obverse & reverse varieties exist (DH#12-17). Listed in Dalton & Hamer as 'Scarce'.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Farthing (Lanarkshire - Glasgow / Anderson's) ND from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of small denomination coins in circulation, and private companies and individuals issued their own tokens to fill the gap. This coin, made of copper and weighing 2.54g, is an example of such a token and was issued by Anderson's, a company based in Glasgow, Scotland.
