The reverse has a shield bearing the arms of the Grocers Company The shield is divided by a voided chevron pointing up, with six cloves arranged in a diagonal regular pattern above the chevron and three cloves arranged similar below it.One Thomas Kent, a grocer of Wainfleet in Lincolnshire, issued one such farthing token in 1668 with the arms of the Grocers Company (see Williamson, Lincolnshire 267) There is no proof that the issuers of both tokens are the same person but it remains a slight possibility.
