| Aanvullende informatie |
New Zealand's early settler economy ran almost entirely on private token coinage through the 1850s and 1860s, as the colonial government failed to supply adequate small change for everyday retail transactions. Wellington merchants like Anderson's filled the gap themselves, commissioning tokens from British die-cutters — most likely John Minton or one of the Birmingham trade token manufacturers who dominated this export market. The Andrews and Roper reference numbers place this firmly within the documented Wellington merchant series, though Anderson's General Store itself left little surviving paper record.
