British tokens, Birmingham, Taylor & Challen Ltd, advertising token c. 1914, Chinese interest. 21 mm, bronze.
Taylor & Challen Ltd were a Birmingham manufacturer of minting machinery, who sold equipment to many foreign mints, e.g. Thailand. These tokens were produced in 1914, as part of a project to attract new foreign customers, especially the relatively new Chinese Republican government.
EF+, lustrous, a superb example.
