Why is this woman holding a fish?
There's probably some allegorical or heraldic significance to the fish, but the reason could conceivably be just that my silver florin-sized token from Attleborough in Norfolk, Britain, was issued by a major local grocer, William Parsons & Sons.
Landlocked as it is, Attleborough proper was never a seafaring town, but since Norfolk, its county, fronts right on the North Sea, the fish may have instead been an allusion to one of the local industries.
The nicely flamboyant arms on the reverse belonged to the Duke of Norfolk.Attleborough, Norfolk, Two Shillings, 1811, Dalton 4, RR and "virtually as struck." While you're here, please check out the news in my revised signature, below. Many thanks!
