| Aanvullende informatie |
James Graham Fleming operated a hardware and ironmongery business in Hobart during the mid-Victorian period, issuing these tokens to alleviate the chronic shortage of low-denomination coinage that plagued colonial Tasmania well into the 1870s. The British Royal Mint's reluctance to supply adequate small change to the Australian colonies left merchants to fill the gap themselves — a practice that produced one of the richest token series in the Southern Hemisphere. Fleming's issues are catalogued under multiple die varieties, reflected in the split Andrews and Gray references, with minor differences in the stop and letter spacing distinguishing the 128 from the 129.
