GREAT BRITAIN (Evasion) Farthing George Rules Britan nia Isles Atkins 467

Description: GREAT BRITAIN (Evasion) Farthing George Rules / Britan nia Isles, 1.86 Grams Atkins 467 The farthings are some of the scarcest coins in the Evasion series. Evasion tokens were produced at the end of the 1790s, and were designed to exploit a legal loophole that allowed private manufacturers to produce pseudo-coins imitating the regal issue, as long as they were not exact copies. To the illiterate eye, there was little difference between the ‘evasion coppers’ and the regal coppers that they supplanted. They were of course lighter and thus were profitable to manufacture. The manufacturers were many of the same who had produced the Provincial Series (Conder) tokens i.e. Kempson, Lutwyche, and like the later ‘blacksmith tokens’ used in Canada, they were deliberately crudely made, so that they would look worn even when newly manufactured. A series that is both whimsical and fun to collect. Inv. PLEASE NOTE: that applicable taxes are collected by eBay, and that we ship only to Canada, United States, Great Britain, France and Germany.
