| Obverse description | A bishop's mitre depicted in low relief at the centre of the field, serving as the issuer's device. The design is typical of 17th-century English town and tradesman's tokens, where a local ecclesiastical or civic emblem identified the issuing authority. The flan is irregularly struck, consistent with the hand-hammered production methods common to contemporary emergency coinage. |
