Farthing - Dorset Lyme Regis / Town

正面描述	Within a beaded inner circle, the conjoined initials 'L R' appear prominently in the upper field, with the date 1669 below in the lower field, together serving as the abbreviated designation for Lyme Regis. A Latin legend encircles the design between the inner circle and the coin's outer rim, reading 'A. FARTHING. OF. LYME. RS', punctuated by a star stop. The lettering is rendered in a bold, somewhat irregular hand characteristic of provincial seventeenth-century token production.

背面描述	Within a beaded inner circle, the civic arms of Lyme Regis are depicted, featuring on a chief a lion passant guardant, the heraldic emblem associated with the town's corporate identity. The shield is rendered in the naive, engraved style typical of English provincial trade tokens of the Interregnum and Restoration period. Encircling the central device between the inner circle and the outer rim is the Latin legend '*THE. ARMES. OF. LYME. RS', punctuated by stops and introduced by a star. The overall composition is characteristic of the issuing town's effort to lend civic authority and legitimacy to its locally-produced farthing token.
