James Nokes - Grocer
Description
James Nokes issued two halfpenny tokens in 1854. One of tokens is of particular significance because it captures the great excitement of the Victorian public at the arrival of the new Lieut. Governor, Sir Charles Hotham, KCB. Inscribed 'IN COMMEMORATION OF THE LANDING OF SIR CHARLES HOTHAM 22d JUNE 1854.' The token is a reminder that in the months before the Eureka Rebellion, Hotham enjoyed the support and affection of the Victorian public.
Nokes apparently came to Melbourne from Hobart, where he had run a grocery store, around 1852.
