Gainsborough's position on the River Trent made it a minor but active inland port, and the acute shortage of regal silver coinage during the Napoleonic Wars forced merchants across Lincolnshire to issue their own tokens to keep trade moving. Sandars was among the local traders who filled this gap, producing silver shillings that circulated on personal credit rather than crown authority.
The provincial silver token series of 1811–1812 emerged specifically because the Bank of England's dollar tokens had failed to reach sufficient quantities outside London.
