A commemorative token issued in honor of Francis Egerton, Duke of Bridgewater (featuring his coat of arms), who, by financing the construction of the Bridgewater Canal, connected the mines in Worsley with Manchester.
It has a very attractive appearance, though the shine is unnaturally intense.
The edge bears the inscription: PAYABLE AT BIRMINGHAM, LONDON, OR BRISTOL.
