To avoid stamp duty, it was initially published illegally, but after seven weeks, it was relaunched as Lloyd's Weekly London at threepence to comply with the law. It became a pioneer in Britain's mass-market newspapers. By 1849, it was renamed Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, indicating the earliest date for these tokens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"JsGRdQ\"\u003eAll purchases include a Certificate of Authenticity.
