Obv: A rhino, EXETER CHANGE STRAND around, LONDON in exergue. Rev: An elephant, PIDCOCK’S EXHIBITION above and below. Edge: Plain (not in collar).
Extremely Fine with weak centers due to thin flan. Tiny marks.
Pidcock’s Royal Menagerie was for many years one of London’s great attractions. Imagine a three-story building more suited for offices and shops, instead being occupied by a wide assortment of animals such as an Elephant, an Ostrich, and even a two-headed cow! His tokens were used as advertising tickets. A wonderful series to collect!
