Banners

Cole combined the messages from his tokens into 6 themes:
Federate the World
Improve Your Mind
Greatest of Truths
Keys to Knowledge
Value of Industry
Words of Wisdom

The only known place where Cole used these are at the end of certain publications where he cross-promoted other publications. A 1.1MB pdf of the six ‘banners’ is available here.

See individual tokens under the headings Advertising, Politics and Religion and Philosophy.

A numismatically-oriented biography of Cole’s life by George Dean is available in the Biographical section.
