| 裏面の説明 | The reverse bears an entirely inscriptional design, with the full redemption pledge of the issuer arranged in six horizontal lines across the flat field: A / POUND NOTE / FOR 20 TOKENS / GIVEN BY / WILLm BASTIN / CHELTENHAM / 1811. The legend is incuse in raised lettering within a plain field, bordered by a fine toothed rim. This text serves as the issuer's guarantee, confirming that twenty such tokens would be exchanged for a one pound note. |

William Bastin issued this token in response to the chronic small-change shortage that plagued Britain during the Napoleonic Wars, when the Royal Mint's output of silver coinage was wholly inadequate for retail trade. Provincial tradesmen across England filled the gap themselves — legally ambiguous but practically essential. Cheltenham in 1811 was mid-transformation, swelling with visitors drawn to its spa waters and newly fashionable status, which created precisely the kind of high-volume retail pressure that made a reliable shilling token worth commissioning.
Dalton's attribution as number one in the Cheltenham series suggests Bastin may have been among the earliest local issuers to act.
