| Obverse description | Central design features a rectangular cartouche or trade label bearing the legend M. LAMBE & SON / GROCERS / BATH in three lines, with a decorative Chinese-style tea caddy or chest motif beneath the firm name, referencing the trade goods sold. Surrounding the central cartouche, the circular legend in the field reads SPICES ~ TEAS ~ SUGARS ~ COFFEES, listing the principal commodities of the establishment. The border is formed by a toothed or beaded rim. The overall design is typical of the late 18th-century British tradesmen's token, combining commercial advertisement with decorative engraving. |
