An 18th-century theater token offering free shows for life to a Bristol, United Kingdom, theater was auctioned off Saturday.
The token to the Bristol Theatre was dated for its opening date on May 30, 1766, and was sold off for 9,200 pounds by the Henry Aldridge & Son auction house, per a post on its Instagram page.
“It is believed 20 of the coins have survived but only a handful of these have ever been offered up for auction. The vendors are from Bristol and have always treasured the item as an important piece of local history,” a spokesperson for Henry Aldridge & Son told the BBC.
