Description: | Copper alloy farthing trade token of Humphry Penhellick of Helston, who was issuing tokens c.1659.
The obverse depicts three butterflies volant within a square shield, which was the arms of the Penhellicks of St. Clement's, Truro. A branch of the family settled in Helston in the mid-16th century and were of some influence there, but little is known of Humphry or his brother John who issued tokens in 1666. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1659 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Anna Tyacke | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
