Provenance

The Alfred Leonard Fuller of Bath Collection (1870-1941)




James Wright Junior, of Dundee, was an ardent token collector and designed many tokens for the tradesmen of Scotland. He also wrote the introduction to Denton's Virtuoso's Companion headed 'Observations on Coins' and contributed to Conder's work on tokens, writing the preface for the book. He is believed to have died in 1798.
