Milner and Thompson operated one of Christchurch's more prominent general merchandise businesses during the early South Island settlement boom, and their trade tokens served a practical function during chronic shortages of official British regal coinage in New Zealand through the 1870s and into the 1880s. The Colonial Bank of Issue had been wound up, and the flow of imperial bronze to the colony remained unreliable enough that private traders continued issuing their own copper well after similar practices had ended in Australia.
The "Large Series" designation distinguishes these from a smaller-diameter issue by the same firm — a detail that trips up collectors who encounter the two types without reference material to hand.
