| Reverse description | The central field bears a monogram or set of initials, likely those of the issuing merchant or civic officer, flanked by the date 1652, all arranged within a compact circular composition. A peripheral legend in Latin script reads OXFORD TOKEN C.O 1652 . R ., identifying the piece as an official municipal token of Oxford. The lettering, though simply rendered, follows the conventional formula of contemporary English trade tokens, with stops separating abbreviated terms. The overall design is functional rather than artistic, in keeping with the pragmatic nature of Interregnum-era emergency coinage. |
