Title
Modern Co-operative Token
Description
English: Modern copper alloy half sovereign token issued by the Ebbesbourne Wake Co-operative Society Limited, made by Ardill at Leeds, c.AD 1870-1897.

Meers, P. in Ebbesbourne Wake Through the Ages identifies Charles Young as the manager of the Cooperative in an 1885 directory and again in the 1891 census. A William Duckles is the manager on an 1895 directory but by the next issue of a directory in 1897 while Willaim Duckles is still in the village running a shop the Cooperative society is no longer mentioned and may have folded. Ardills were a large producer of tokens and gaming counters and issued pieces used by co-operatives throughout Britain and Ireland and as far as New Zealand. They were in business from the 1870s to early 1900's.
