| Reverse description | Within the field, the initials I S S are arranged across two lines, representing the issuer James Smith and his spouse, separated by an Ormond (lovers') knot below the uppermost initial, from the terminals of which a floral spray emerges on either side of the top letter S. A circular legend surrounds the device in the outer field, naming the place of issue. The design is typical of seventeenth-century English provincial trade tokens in its use of merchant initials combined with a decorative knot motif. |
