Here is something about those Nuremberg ones​ http://www.mernick.org.uk/Bexley/article3.htm

I went to Coinex in London today.
Overwhelming collection of coin dealers and their wares, saw some wonderful coins and bought this.

It has been a while since I added a coin to my collection, but I did add a piece of currency to my collection.

I have been VERY SLOWLY trying to assemble a collection of one piece of currency from each of the states of the Confederate States of America.

Last weekend, at a coin show in Arkansas, a dealer (that I have known for several years) told me that Florida and Arkansas are the two toughest states to acquire. (I had two from Florida--one state issue and one Tallahassee Railroad issue, but none from Arkansas).

He told me about general prices for Arkansas notes, then the lowest price he quoted was $95 for one. I passed.

This weekend, I attended a coin show in the Dallas area, and acquired a satisfactory Arkansas note for $45.

It is an Arkansas Treasury Warrant for $10, dated 1864.

After spending a couple hours carefully scraping off layers of dirt, this is the end result

[seller's poor quality picture; maybe why I got it for just over face value]

'18th century halfpenny token - David Peters 1797 - Perthshire D&H#10'

Απόσπασμα: "ZacUK"​'18th century halfpenny token - David Peters 1797 - Perthshire D&H#10'
​

​I know nothing about Condor tokens, but that obverse does not look British at all!

I'd have thought it was supposed to be a Russian or Austrian eagle.

I see. Thanks. Also a condor is a bird; the tokens are named after James Conder who
was one of the first to catalogue them at the time.
