Templar Tokens of Commercial Companies
1-2. Two tokens issued by the "Breish & Company". Jaffa, 1880s. "Breish & Company" was a private commercial company owned by a Templar. Noted on one side is the value of the token and on the second side is the inscription "B&C". In 1888, the company was closed and its tokens were redeemed. The tokens have the values of ¼ and ⅛ (piaster?).
3. Token of the value of ½ (piaster?), noted on one side is its value and on the second side the inscription"B&G" and a small emblem. Apparently, it also was use by a private Templar company in Jaffa at the end of the 19th century.
