| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, the merchant's initials I R (for James Ruse) are displayed prominently in the central field, separated by a small rosette ornament. A circular Latin legend reading MEYDSTONE ♦ IN ♦ KENT * surrounds the inner circle, identifying the place of issue as Maidstone in Kent. A beaded border encloses the full design at the coin's edge. The composition follows the standard format of English seventeenth-century farthing trade tokens issued under the Commonwealth and Restoration periods. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maidstone tradesmen's tokens flooded Kent during the 1648–1672 period precisely because the Crown had utterly failed to supply small change in sufficient quantity — Royal farthings under Charles I had been widely counterfeited, and Parliament showed no urgency in replacing them. J. Ruse issued this piece as a private commercial necessity, redeemable at his premises and trusted within a local economy that had no better option. Withers 385 is among hundreds of catalogued Maidstone pieces, reflecting just how active the town's mercantile community was relative to its size.
