Undated (circa 1694) London Elephant Token. GOD PRESERVE LONDON. No Diagonals. Thick Planchet. Breen 186. 250.8 gns. About Extremely Fine. Decidedly thick planchet exhibits surfaces that are glossy and chestnut brown, with the reverse being a noticeably lighter brown hue. Both sides are well struck and perfectly centered, with no surface marks other than those gained through normal circulation. There is a minuscule, mint made ''clip'' at the lower reverse. Here is a wonderful specimen for the type.
