FEATURED WEB PAGE: EARLY GIBRALTAR COINAGEThis week's Featured Web Page is on Early Gibraltar Coinage (1802 - 1842), from the Gibraltar National Mint website. Thanks to David Pickup for the link.After the Capture of Gibraltar in 1704, ordinary British Coins started to circulate in the City. However to relieve an acute shortage of small change, a local merchant, Robert Keeling, started issuing copper tokens during 1802. This was, by then, a normal practice by many traders and shopkeepers in Britain.
