Ever since the trip into the Rochester Subway I have hoped to find one of these little gems. The other day my wife said "Open your hand." then she dropped this little token into my palm. It's about the size of a dime and after cleaning it a bit and looking closer I noticed all the fine detail.

At first glance, this dime-sized brass disk looks much like one of the Civil War money substitutes. But the blank reverse was a puzzle until I stumbled upon this other medalion that indicates its true nature was that of a religious medal for soldiers. On the example above the lettering on the back has worn off.

Archduke Maximilian of Austria and his wife Princess Carlota of Belgium, appointed by Napoleon III, took the throne of Mexico as Emperor and Empress in 1864. The people of Mexico, rejecting the foreign rule, forced the French troops to pull out. Emperor Maximilian chose to stay, and on June 10th, 1867 he was executed. During his reign, coins were struck with his bust on the obverse, and the Mexico Coat of Arms on the reverse. This obverse is what was copied for the Maximilian tokens.

Prison Reformist. Having visited several hundred prisons across England, Scotland, Wales and wider Europe, Howard published the first edition of The State of the Prisons in 1777. It included very detailed accounts of the prisons he had visited, including plans and maps, together with detailed instructions on the necessary improvements. It is this work that has been credited as establishing the practice of single-celling in the United Kingdom. By 1784, Howard calculated that he had travelled over 42,000 miles (68,000 km) visiting prisons. He had been awarded an honorary LLD by the University of Dublin and had been given the Freedom of the City of London. While in the Ukraine, Howard contracted typhus on a prison visit and died, aged sixty-three.

A copper halfpenny coin known as a provincial token. This token was issued and circulated within Leek, Staffordshire in 1793.
Provincial tokens were coins minted by private individuals from the late 18th century in response to a chronic lack of small denomination coins in Britain. This was caused by limited penny production by the Royal Mint from the 1660s onward.
This particular token was produced by the town of Leek and circulated within the local area. The coin was used in lieu of official coinage, and was understood within Leek to have had a value equivalent to half a penny. This allowed trade to continue within the town despite the lack of legitimate currency.
The obverse of the coin features a caduceus staff (a classical symbol of commerce), resting against a bale of goods, representing Leek's textile and cotton industries. Encircling the image is the legend: "LEEK COMMERCIAL HALFPENNY." and the date "1793".
The reverse of the coin features two clasped hands in front of an olive branch. The reverse is encircled by the motto of Leek: "ARTE FAVENTE NIL DESPERANDUM" (Our skill assisting us, we have no cause for despair).
Running around the rim of the coin is the text : "PAYABLE AT LEEK STAFFORDSHIRE."
This is one of two Leek provincial halfpenny tokens in Lichfield's collection (1983.36.6 and 1983.36.7).
