Not sure of the details of this trade token from 1838. Coin is in poor condition but is the size of the Canadian halfpenny bank tokens of the period.
Notice that the corresponding area on the reverse appear weakly struck!

Patriotic Civil War Token
The Federal Union It Must Be Preserved
Our Union
This token, bearing a likeness of the famous statue of Andrew Jackson, included his most famous quote concerning his stand against secession. "Our Federal Union! It Must Be Preserved!" was President Andrew Jackson's volunteer toast delivered at the annual Democratic Jefferson Day dinner on 13 April 1830 in response to the South Carolina senator Robert Hayne's pronullification speech. Hayne's speech and the toasts that followed were intended to display a united front for states' rights within the party. Jackson became aware of the plan before the dinner, and he decided to pronounce finally his position on nullification and win back the initiative. To the attendees' shock, Jackson, often identified with states' rights, declared his opposition to nullification and proclaimed his belief in a supreme, perpetual Union.
The weekend of 8 - 10 September 2017 saw the Steam Gala of the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway, there were two visiting guest locomotives, one of them being Ivatt 2-6-2T numbered 41312, normally resident on the Mid-Hants Railway. In this image this versatile locomotive is seen at Furnace Sidings (the headquarters of the railway) working the 17.07 Coed Avon to Whistle Inn, a non-stop working, hence the exhaust seen emanating from the chimney. Close inspection will show the firemen on the footplate about to hand over the token from Coed Avon to Furnace Sidings, his other arm is raised to collect the token for the short journey to Whistle Inn. I watched the token exchange which was executed to perfection, pretty good for a non-professional railwayman. (Any error with the exchange could have been very painful for the 'window-hanger' in the first carriage.)
In a busy scene at Gothland Station, 63395 waits patiently, as with the fireman about to exchange tokens with the signalman, 76079 arrives with a train from Pickering.
This is unusual in that the downhill train was in the loop with the uphill train running non stop through with a token exchange. Normally the uphill train is stationary as the downhill train runs through. Here WC 34046 Braunton is assisted by GWR Castle 5029 Nunney Castle.
Token Company makes tokens for different purposes such as gaming machines, consumption, car wash and casinos.
Another from the first day of the West Somerset Railway Spring Steam Spectacular, the day proved to be a trying day for the volunteers and staff of the railway as lineside fires delayed services through the day. However, this presented an unforeseen photographic opportunity towards the end of the day with 45596 Bahamas running some 80" late arriving at Williton with a full maroon rake in gorgeous light.

My old Nikon always was pretty good at taking macros. Much better than any of the lenses I currently have for my Canon.
People say the new token "has weight to it so it won't be confused with a dime". Some unscientific measuring on my digital kitchen scale says it weighs as much as a dime: 2 grams. It is thicker than a dime though, so it definitely feels different. I think it's that thickness that makes it seem heavier than it is.
A rare (sort of) US half cent dated 1828 with only 12 stars instead of 13. And a very rare merchant's overstrike. There was a famous South Carolina politician by the name of H. Klugh Purdy but I cannot make any connection between the merchant and the congressman.

Trade tokens were produced by Birmingham traders in the 1660s and 1670s. This was partly because small change was in short supply after the English Civil War. Merchants and tradesmen issued halfpennies like this one on the understanding that they would later exchange them for money. This kept trade going and was a great way to advertise their business. We can tell from this token that Edward Freeman was a grocer. He wouldn’t have just sold fruit and vegetables, but spices and all sorts of dried food.

1. Monopoly tokens (ship, dog, and dinosaur), houses and hotels, game money, Monopoly game board
2. I wanted to show rule-of-odds with the game pieces while also keeping some aspects of chaotic gameplay in it.
3. My partner and I placed the board near sunlight going through the window.
The Taj mosque (crown) series of Indian Islamic temple tokens were struck in and around Calcutta and Bombay (Mumbai) during the second half of the 19th century. The mosque depicted on the ‘taj’ tokens tend to be more detailed with a large bulbous dome with minarets on either side and a central doorway. Other elements such as palms and the star & crescent are also included as standard. Taj temple tokens were struck in high-grade silver become progressively debased to silver-washed brass towards the end of the century.
The obverse depicts the Kalima (Islamic statement of Faith) and the names of the four Holy Caliphs in each quarter.
This token is unusual in that it is dated AH1300 (AD1882).
