 Eirinn go Brách, I'm retiring from acquiring! Please note my new temporary signature below about the upcoming sale of the Irish portion of my collection of early 19th-century British tokens.
Meanwhile, this silver shilling token, Dalton 11, was issued in 1811 by one Robert Boothby Hoff, a noted man about town in Holbeach, Lincolnshire. Mays cites contemporary directories that describe Hoff as "...grocer, draper, seedsman, chandler and local agent for the County Fire [insurance] Office."
Without imagery or illustration, and showing nothing but prose text and a decorative wreath, this is one of the Regency Era's dullest silver tokens, prosaic enough to make one wonder if citizens in Lincolnshire actually stopped to read their small change!
