Description: | A copper alloy token farthing, issued by Elias Martin of Reston, Lincolnshire, dated 1671.Williamson vol.I, p.168, cf.208Diameter: 20.27mm, Thickness: 0.94mm, Weight: 1.39gWilliamson (1889, p.168) notes 'the Rev. J. Johnson, vicar of North Reston, Louth, very kindly searched his parish register for me, but found no entry whatever of the name of Martin'.Tokens of this type very seldom move very far, the finding of this example in Crewkerne, along with the lack of any record of the issuer in the supposed parish or origin could, if more local examples came to light, suggest it is actually from somewhere more local than Lincolnshire.
