James Conder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Conder ran a drapery business in Ipswich in the 18th century. He was one of the first people to catalogue the 18th Century independently minted copper trade coinage that now often bears his name as a category of coins known as Conder Tokens. He published the first catalog that would remain the definitive source concerning these coins for almost 100 years. He did not simply study the Tokens, he was a contemporary businessman who also issued his own Tokens to advertise his business.
