| 正面铭文 | WALTER · CHALLS · OF * |
| 背面描述 | The initials C W S, representing the issuer Walter Challs and his spouse, are arranged in a triangular formation within a beaded inner circle, with C above and W S below, consistent with standard English trade token merchant-mark practice. The surrounding legend, separated by pellet and star stops, names the town of Cullompton in Devon and bears the date 1651. The entire design is enclosed within a plain outer rim with beaded border, typical of hammered copper trade tokens of the Commonwealth period. |

Issued under the 1649 Parliamentary ordinance permitting tradesmen to produce their own copper tokens, this piece fills a void created by the Crown's long neglect of small-denomination coinage — a problem that had plagued everyday commerce for decades. Challs almost certainly operated a shop in Cullompton, Devon, with the token functioning as a private substitute where official halfpennies and farthings were simply unavailable in sufficient quantity.
