| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Hugh Peck was a Melbourne ironmonger and general merchant who commissioned these tokens in the early 1860s when small change in the colony remained chronically short — the Royal Mint's Sydney branch wouldn't open until 1855 had already passed, and getting copper coinage from London took months. Peck's token, struck in Birmingham most likely by the Heaton Mint, filled a genuine commercial gap rather than serving purely as advertising.
The Stokes attribution refers to John Stokes & Sons of Melbourne, the local issuing agent who distributed many Birmingham-struck colonial tokens. Andrews 434 is moderately scarce in problem-free condition; copper surfaces on Victorian merchant tokens frequently show cleaning or environmental damage from decades in commercial drawers.
