BRITISH INDIA: pewter medal, ND, GRW-305, Creswell-6499, Burzinski-7546, communion token from Calcutta; the motto of the Church of Scotland, NEC TAMEN CONSUMEBATUR (Yet it was not consumed), around burning bush from the Book of Exodus // DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME, VF. Communion tokens have been used in Great Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Italy, Africa, India, South America, the West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Churches in at least 24 states in the United States issued communion tokens, with over 400 recorded varieties in Pennsylvania. But it was in Scotland where the tokens had their deepest roots with over 7000 different types being recorded. They are quite rare from India.
