SCOTTISH COMMUNION TOKENS WHITE METAL / LEAD SCOTTISH COMMUNION TOKENS DIFFERENT PLACES AND DIFFERENT DATES NEW STOCK ADDED: November 2021 SEE DROP DOWN MENU For sale Scottish Communion Tokens from 1720's-1850's,  communion tokens were issued to members of Reformed churches in order to provide them entrance to the Lord's Supper. There were many types issued in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries, but they were largely superseded by communion cards.  Please see our drop down menu for a selection of tokens from different places. The tokens are mainly Lead based white metal, mostly in presentable used condition, please see image for condition. "Communion tokens were commonly used in Presbyterian churches across the world from the Reformation through to the nineteenth century. Anyone attending church who was in possession of a token was known to have proved their spiritual fitness to attend communion. Those about to take communion were seated at a table which was separated by a wooden paling from the rest of the church. The table was guarded by two elders who were responsible for ensuring that only those with a token were allowed to sit there. When a large number of people attended, there could be more than one sitting at the table. Tokens were stamped with the number of the “sitting” the member was required to attend, and the sittings could be linked to the social status of the communicant. Those of the “lower orders” could have to attend in the “wee sma' hours” whereas those considered more respectable attended later in the day."
