| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Withymoor Scythe Works operated in the Stourbridge area of the Black Country, a region whose metalworking trades ran deep enough by the early nineteenth century that several local manufacturers issued their own copper and bronze tokens to ease the chronic shortage of small change that plagued commercial Britain well into the 1820s. Griffin's token circulated among workers and local tradesmen as functional wage media — the kind of scrip that tied a laborer's spending to the issuing employer's preferred network of merchants.
This is a replica, not an original issue. The 1813 originals are scarce; die-struck replicas exist primarily to fill dealer inventory gaps, and condition comparison with genuine examples is the only reliable authentication path.
