Note
BRIDGETOWN, John Arnot & Co,; not struck in collar; Margolis, SNC July 1990, p.200; Lyall 73; Prid. 22; Pridmore thought these tokens were made for collectors but it is actually much more likely that they were a legitimate order for John Arnot,
baker of Bridgetown; however, Arnot’s order was seemingly cancelled when the island became flooded with Birmingham-made copies of the
original 1788 Gibbes issue in 1791
