The original Prince of Wales pattern tokens of the early 19th century were private productions, not official crown issues — struck by entrepreneurial coiners exploring silver denominations that the Royal Mint had effectively abandoned during the long small-change crisis of the Napoleonic period. The 1828 restrike is a deliberate after-market piece, produced for collectors rather than commerce, almost certainly by the same dies used for the original striking.
W.J. Davis catalogued this piece in his 1904 work on 19th-century tokens, and the Davis#5 attribution places it within a small, well-documented run of pattern restrikes.
