Robert Andrew Mather operated his drapery business in Hobart during the 1850s, a period when chronic shortages of small change in the Australian colonies drove private traders to commission their own copper tokens. These tradesman's pieces filled a genuine gap — the colonial government had no mechanism to supply adequate fractional currency, and commerce ground to a halt without it. Mather's token circulated alongside dozens of others issued by Hobart merchants during the same window, most struck by diesinkers in Birmingham and shipped out to the colonies.
The Andrews and Renniks references diverge slightly on classification, reflecting ongoing debates among Australian token specialists about die linkages within the Birmingham-produced Tasmanian series.
