Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 6 Pence (Somersetshire - Bristol Bridge / R.Tripp & Co.) 1811 from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of official currency in circulation, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute for official coins.
