This 1794 Franklin Press Token with Plain Edge is an English tradesman’s token that reflects the late-18th-century fascination with Benjamin Franklin as a transatlantic figure of intellect, industry, and innovation. Although struck in England, the association with the Franklin name led to its long inclusion in collections formed around Frankliniana and early press-related material. As with many tokens of the period, it blends commercial origin with broader cultural symbolism.

Graded NGC MS-62 BN, this example displays solid preservation for the type, with smooth brown surfaces and well-defined devices that remain clear and engaging. The plain edge is a key identifying feature, and the strike quality allows the central motifs and legends to be easily appreciated. Its appearance suggests careful handling over the centuries rather than heavy circulation.

In terms of population, NGC has graded 34 examples at the MS62 level, with 27 certified finer. This places the token within a relatively small group of higher-grade survivors, making it a strong and representative example of an English tradesman’s token that has crossed collecting boundaries through its enduring connection to the Franklin name.
