Description: | An Early-modern copper alloy trader's token of S Huggins, Gunmaker in Blewbury, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). Trade tokens were at their most popular during the mid 17th century but continued in use into the 20th century. This example is not dated as many are, but from the style, subject matter and manufacturing this token probably dates from the mid to late 19th century. Trade tokens and were used as local currency by the premises(for example halfpenny tokens) and as advertising tools.Obverse: S.HUGGINS / GUNMAKER / BLEWBURYReverse: (around edge) WHOLESALE DEALER IN GUN MATERIALS Hunting dog and hunter advancing left
