| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in 1795 at the height of Britain's provincial token boom, this piece was produced by the Hoxne and Hartsmere Suffolk Loyal Yeomanry Cavalry — one of the volunteer cavalry units raised in response to the twin pressures of war with Revolutionary France and domestic fear of Jacobin unrest. The Yeomanry were as much a political statement as a military one: local gentry bankrolling loyalty in copper and horseflesh.
Dalton & Hamer's cataloguing of this piece as DH#33 places it among a small cluster of Suffolk issues, though surviving examples in any grade are genuinely scarce — Yeomanry tokens rarely achieved wide circulation beyond their issuing locality.
