Duke

The Duke of Edinburgh

 We are very grateful to Geraint Morgans for sending us these photographs. Geraint tells us that he picked the token up at a local (Cardiff) auction along with a lot of coins. Unfortunately it is no longer in his possession. He said that It looked as if it had been in the ground at some time, and while he doesn't claim to be an expert on pub tokens, he believes that they were awarded for winning skittles competitions and could be redeemed against a drink. He thinks it dates from the mid to late 1800s.

We are always looking for information  - Maybe you can help ?

Any photos, stories or photos gratefully received and promptly returned.

Please use the CONTACT Page to send us the info. or send by mail to the Newtown Association (address is bottom of page).
