| Obverse description | Central field bears a five-line inscription in bold raised lettering arranged symmetrically: MATHEW / HOTHAM / DRAPER / IN / YORKE, identifying the issuer by name, trade, and location. Small floral or pellet stops flank the lower lines, serving as decorative separators. The legend fills the entire field without a surrounding border legend, consistent with mid-seventeenth-century English trade token style. The coin edge shows a beaded or serrated border typical of hammered copper tokens of this period. |
