In 1787 that Granville Sharp and his friend Thomas Clarkson formed the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade in Aylesbury, England. All over Britain there began agitation to abolish slavery. Slave trading was abolished in 1807, and finally in 1833 slavery itself was abolished. The Aylesbury group was among the first to broadcast an Anti-Slavery sentiment in the form of a local coin. Thus, this is one of the earliest pieces of anti-slavery memorabilia and, arguably, is much rarer than the tokens based on Josiah Wedgwood’s ceramic cameo of a kneeling male slave in chains with the slogan, “AM I NOT A MAN AND A BROTHER?”
