    Comments
    These Bank of England tokens were struck to a standard weight of 227 grains, comprising 202.4 grains pure silver and 24.6 grains alloy.
    Minted during the Napoleonic Wars, when the Royal Mint was not producing Crown coinage but rather pieces issued under the authority of the Bank of England, thus technically a token although its purity of metal caused it to be accepted as money. The era of official circulating token coinage that began with the countermarking of Spanish American 8 Reales, would end with the final issue of this type, when the New Coinage began to appear. Sometimes this last type is called the Bare Head style but as may be clearly observed the king wears a laurel around his head.
