Great Britain, Thomas Spence, Anti-Slavery Copper Farthing Token, 1795
Abolitionism in the United Kingdom in the late 18th and early 19th centuries fought to end slavery, formal or informal, in the United Kingdom, the British Empire and the world, including ending the Atlantic slave trade. It was part of a wider abolitionism movement in Western Europe and the Americas. The buying and selling of slaves was made illegal across the British Empire in 1807, but owning slaves was permitted until it was outlawed completely in 1833, beginning a process where from 1834 slaves became indentured "apprentices" to their former owners until emancipation was achieved for the majority by 1840 and for remaining exceptions by 1843. Former slave owners received formal compensation for their losses from the British government, known as compensated emancipation.WO99705.

Scotland, Angusshire, Condor Token, James Wright, Dundee Farthing, 1796
Conder Tokens, also referred to as the 18th Century Provincial Tokens, were a form of privately minted token coinage struck and used during the latter part of the 18th century and the early part of the 19th century in England, Anglesey and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
