I don't really know the history of the tokens of the city but they are a strange mix. Some seem to be in lieu of change given out by businesses especially the pubs but the tokens below don't seem to be in the same type of scheme. For me their interest is the little cameos of parts of the city. I think that I've got images of most of them but if anyone knows of another, please let me know. There are different versions of the same views. I've not included the usual elephant and castle with Godiva reverse.

In terms of rarity of these tokens - the interior of the Grammar School and the open book (both with Philemon Holland on the reverse); the rear of the Grammar School (with John Hales on the reverse) and 3 different versions of the King's Head with Peeping Tom, on Smithford Street, are the least likely to appear online, although that might not be a reflection of true rarity.
