Of the Brazilian navy, tie Republics and the

match for all of Peixulo's navy. A quite pos
sible outcome of this rebellion IS the div ision Of

states from the loya ones at the north. Tho

TRADERS, TOKENS.
mbers' Journal

1T rom journal
During the sixteenth century the
national coinage was so unsatisfactory
and inconvenient that large numbers of
private traders and merchants were i'm
PEELED to have halfpence and farthings
manufactured for themselves. These
tokens" as they were called, were
even leather, and could only be made
use of as currency at the shops or ware
houses of their respective issuers.
Notwithstanding the efforts made
during several reigns to put stop to
the circulation of this unauthorized
coinage, traders tokens continued to
multiply to an astonishing extent, until
IN 1872 proclamation was issued. pro-
fanng their making or use. under
liSl the issue of private tokens entirely
ceased; but in the latter year, owing to
the great scarcity of government copper
coin, the Anglesey Copper Mines Com
pany struck and put into circulation
some 200 tons of copper pence and half
pence The bold example thus set was
speedily followed by other trading firms
eminent found it necessary to take ac-
ton in the matter, which it did by issu-
ing a new national copper coinage from
the Soho works, Birmingham.
For some years the issue of private
tokens was thus effectualy checked; but
in ISL, the authorized coinage again
getting scarce, the copper companies and
others recommended the issue of patches
OF tokens. This went on until the 9th
of July 1917 when the manufacture was
prohibited by act of Parliament. and
all tokens in currency ordered to be
withdrawn from circulation by the 1st
of January, 1918.
