Taylor & Challen Ltd. Minting Machinery Copper Advertising Token.


32 mm

14 grams

A few dark areas reaction of metal and environmental conditions but does not affect the eye appeal of it.

I think its copper but might be bronze....my references can all be found online.


A COIN WORTH GRADING!!!


A rare type, this copper advertising token presents a coining press upon its obverse and features rather vibrant yellow surfaces highlighted by some golden brilliance accentuating the devices.



What better way to advertise your press machinery than handing out some of its products and showing its quality.


This particular press advertised on the coin is model 563 as seen in the more detailed print out from the Taylor & Challen catalogue from the period (found online).
