| Aanvullende informatie |
Edward de Carle established his Melbourne hardware and ironmongery business in the early 1850s, riding the commercial explosion of the Victorian gold rush. Tradesman's tokens like this one filled a genuine void — colonial copper coinage was chronically undersupplied, and private merchants who could afford the die costs issued their own pieces to make change. The "Tasmania" attribution in the name reflects a cataloguing convention rather than any operational presence on the island.
Andrews 105 is among the more frequently encountered de Carle varieties, suggesting a substantial original striking.
