Tokens like this were issued to each miner at a colliery - this one is from Wollaton Colliery, Nottingham. It is 4cm in diameter and made of brass. They had the miner's personal number stamped in the middle and had to be produced when claiming their pay. They were also used to show who was underground and it was the responsibility of the pit head worker to check they were all collected when the cage came to the surface at the end of the shift. Some pits had different tokens for pay and for showing who was underground.

Taken with the phone, like most people do these days
We have been using a pair of these here at Glory for over a year now and they prove to be one of the smoothest rolling hubs we have ever come across.
276g for the pair 74g for the front and 202g for the front.
Since we saw the lions (Simba?) and warthogs (Pumbaa?), it made sense post a picture of a meerkat (Timon?) as well.
Visitors can buy the tokens and write their wishes and then toss up to the Wishing Tree at the Chinese Garden during the Lantern Festival 2012 period.
