Comments:
In 1830 there appeared a small satirical token marking the downfall of the Duke of Wellington's government, and his replacement as Premier by Lord Grey with the assistance of William IV; the reverse type with its inscription' By trampling on Liberty I lost the reins' was used in first on an coronation token of William IV, 1830.
