Conder tokens, also known as 18th-century provincial tokens, were a form of privately minted token coinage struck and used during the later part of the 18th century and the early part of the 19th century in England and Wales (including Anglesey), Scotland, and Ireland. The driving force behind the need for token coinage was the shortage of small denomination coins for everyday transactions.
