Offered is a higher-grade example of the ca 1795-1801 Gilbert Pidcock’s Exhibition Farthing token, issued at London to publicize his exhibition of exotic animals at the (demolished 1829) Exeter Exhange in the Strand, D&H#1067, Batty#457. This type has long been a popular one, as it (as well as the others from this issuer) depicts some of the animals in question, with this example displaying an Elephant and a Cockatoo. Minimal wear and a wonderful chocolate patina round out this very appealing coin.
