London Elephant Token Medal “God Preserve London” U.S. – Replica

Beloved by American colonial–era collectors, the London “Elephant” pieces (c. 1694) are late-17th-century trade tokens linked to the scarcer Carolina and New England Elephant types. Likely struck at London’s Tower Mint, they feature the elephant obverse and GOD PRESERVE LONDON reverse—varieties such as Hodder 2-B / W-12040 are classics of early American–interest numismatics.
