Comment
Samuel Whitchurch was an ironmonger, smith, brazier, tinman and cutler while William Dore was a hatter, hosier mercer and draper, both with businesses in Bath.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Bath - Whitchurch and Dore) 1811 from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in circulation, leading to the use of private token coins like this one as a substitute for official currency.
