Peter Kempson, a Birmingham button and toy maker, issued a prolific series of county tokens during the 1790s when chronic small-change shortages forced provincial tradesmen to mint their own currency. The Warwickshire series is among his most extensive, covering dozens of local subjects. This Coventry piece belongs to a documented run that Kempson produced not strictly for circulation but with the collector market in mind — the token trade had become commercially viable in its own right by 1797, and Kempson exploited it aggressively.
Dalton and Hamer 262 places it within a well-catalogued die sequence.
