Anti-Slavery Token, "Am I not a Woman and a Sister." Copper; 1.125 inch diameter; dark patina; lightly worn. (Pennsylvania?), 1838 E350/500 Josiah Wedgwood, noted 18th-century potter, conceived the original design for such tokens, manufactured to raise funds for the Anti-Slavery Society of England. It read: "Am I not A Man and a Brother." The design was later engraved and re-designed for the Anti-Slavery Society in America by Patrick Reason, noted African-American engraver. Tokens were issued in various sizes and metals (silver, pewter, copper, etc.) depending on amount of contribution.
