Provincial copper tokens of this type proliferated during the 1780s and 1790s when chronic Royal Mint neglect left Britain's small change supply so depleted that merchants and manufacturers began commissioning their own. The Ram and Leopard issues connecting London, Leeds, and Birmingham reflect the actual commercial corridors of the textile and metal trades — these tokens circulated between real business partners, not just within a single town.
The Conder token boom ended abruptly with the Copper Coinage Act of 1797 and subsequent legislation that made private token issue illegal by 1817.
