A shortage of small coinage in the 1790's inspired local companies, militias, and townships to create their own coins called conder tokens. The tokens were then used to pay workers, militia, and common transactions, keeping the economy running. The resulting coins have beautiful and varied artwork, as they weren't minted by the Crown (government).
