Description: | A copper alloy mid 17th halfpenny century token, issued by Edward Hodgson of Hull. The token identifies Hodgson as a merchant.
A lot of these tokens were issued by private merchants across the country in the mid 17th century, particularly in the late 1660s, presumably reflecting a shortage of official small change. Charles II began minting an official copper coinage in 1672 to address this. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Evans, David - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
