The 19th and 20th centuries saw the appearance of a great variety of metallic and plastic coin-like disks. Cheap to produce, they were used by businesses, service companies, co-operative societies, pleasure gardens, theatres, charities, public houses, coffee taverns, friendly societies, etc. This catalogue records and illustrates those known from the area of pre-1974 Somerset and gives information on how many of these little known objects were used.
