| Description |
English: This token was struck in December 1794 or January 1795 for Christopher Ibberson, the proprietor of the "George & Blueboar" hostelry in High Holborn in the West End of London. It was originally just called the "Blue Boar" and was a starting point for coaches heading North. The obverse includes a rendering of St George and the Dragon by Ponthon, and an impressed edge inscription "PAYABLE AT THE GEORGE & BLUEBOAR LONDON". The reverse of the token (not shown) bears the text "Mail and Post Coaches to all parts of England". This token is indexed in Dalton and Hamer as Middlesex 342, and is listed as scarce. The estimated mintage of the token is between 75 and 150 pieces, most surviving in a very high state of preservation. |
