Comments

Advertising/commemorative token made by the Remington Typewriter Company to honour the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (i.e the Windsors: remember, the name wasn't changed until the First World War!). Images of Victoria wearing the Jubilee Diadem of 1887, Edward VII, George V and a young who I assume to be the erstwhile Edward VIII. This bears the date of "1896" at bottom edge, although it also has what I assume is a copyright date of 10 September 1895 - as such, this may have been issued about Victoria surpassed George III as the longest-reigning British monarch in 1896, which occurred 25 September 1896. However, as she requested that all public celebrations be delayed until 1887, the Diamond Jubilee of her ascent to the throne, this was a bit premature. No matter, a neat advertising piece with relevance on both sides of the Atlantic. Very Choice Unc, with original toning and nice lustre, which is a bit unusual in my experience as these were usually carried as pocket pieces.
