† Coins of India. Errors and Tokens. Bengal Presidency Recruiting Token, obv artilleryman on horseback, “HORSE ARTILLERY” above, rev “ APPLY AT NO 35 SOHO SQUARE LONDON” in four lines, “WANTED FOR THE EAST INDIES” around (Pr 398).Extremely fine. Pridmore states that the 1835-1857 Recruiting Depot was at 28 Soho Square, so, due to the size and fabric, this is most likely an early 19th century product. Effectively the size of an unofficial Farthing. I have heard about the company’s pecuniary ways and I can’t help to think that is why they struck this as a Farthing-sized Token rather than something more substantial. It is hard to believe that this pulled in many men who were uncertain if they wanted to join! Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. £100-150
