Any interest in Conder Tokens? These are the British (mostly) equivalent of hard times or trade tokens. They were mostly made in the early 1800s due to shortages of regal copper coinage. Most are the size of a British half penny, or if you prefer a U.S. Large Cent.
I don't know the owner of the site below and I am in no way benefitting from this, but here is a site showing several varieties of such tokens.

One of my personal favorites is my Australian token that says "In Vino Vertias" or, more or less, "In Wine there is Truth". It's in rough shape but it's a keeper!

Conder tokens look really attractive but I doubt I would ever have the time or money to put toward anything like that...they would take about sixth in precedence behind the US copper series, CWTs, and the Hard Times tokens. Those alone, and their varieties, should keep me busy for a lifetime.
