Sale 58 · Important Australian Coins & Banknotes, The W.J.Noble Collection of British Tokens

Description

Birmingham, T.W. (Welch) penny, 1795 (in Roman numerals) (D&H 21). Delightful light blue brown proof-like patina with hints of red, uncirculated and scarce, only 72 struck.

Purchased from Spink in 1975. Thomas Welch kept records of the output of the contemporary die-sinkers and supplied much of the information contained in Pye's primary works. His collection of 18th century tokens was dispersed in 1801.
