Description:		A gaming counter depicting the bust of George III and imitating the design of a 'spade' half-guinea dated 1788, but actually made much later. This type, with the legend, 'IN MEMORY OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS', is the most common stock issue. The date of manufacture spans the period from the 1870s to the 1920s.

Description:		A damaged 'To Hanover' counter or 'Cumberland Jack'. On 20th June 1837, King William IV died, and his niece, Victoria, the only child of the late Duke of Kent, the fourth son of George III, succeeded as queen of the United Kingdom. However, Salic Law still prevailed in Hanover, meaning that William's legitimate male heir, Ernest Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland, became King of Hanover. The royal houses of Hanover and the United Kingdom were thereby separated. The new King of Hanover was unpopular in Britain, and these tokens (the reverse showing the new King slinking off to his new domain, in crude imitation of a gold sovereign) were minted as a satirical gesture, as well as being used for card counters. They continued to be struck until their production became illegal under the Counterfeit Medal Act of 1883.

Description:		A gaming counter of the 'To Hanover' or 'Cumberland Jack' type, dated 1862. On 20th June 1837, King William IV died, and his niece, Victoria, the only child of the late Duke of Kent, the fourth son of George III, succeeded as queen of the United Kingdom. However, Salic Law still prevailed in Hanover, meaning that William's legitimate male heir, Ernest Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland, became King of Hanover. The royal houses of Hanover and the United Kingdom were thereby separated. The new king of Hanover was unpopular in Britain, and these card counters, in crude imitation of a gold sovereign, carried a satirical message (good riddance!), as well as serving their main purpose. They continued to be struck until their production became illegal under the Counterfeit Medal Act of 1883.

Description:		A model penny of Victoria, struck in copper. These model coins were issued by Joseph Moore between 1844 and 1848, when the Government was tentatively discussing plans to replace the heavy copper coinage then in circulation. They were produced in such large numbers, and became so popular with the public, that the Royal Mint had to make an official pronouncement stating that they were not responsible for their manufacture. Cf. UKDFD 3394 (similar, but with white metal centre).
