Comment

Rarity R7

The holes are common and both holed and unholed examples exist.

Included by both Andrews and Renniks as a Tradesmen Token and thus numbered, but considered by Gray as a Check Piece or advertising piece. Andrew advises that in some instances they were taken in place of a halfpenny.

Note the incorrect spelling of BRITTAIN.
