背面描述	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.

附加信息	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.
