Some hops tokens are clearly denominated in "bushels" - that is, the number of bushels of hops a picker had picked. Other hops tokens are clearly denominated in shillings and pence. Others, like the OP's token, are just indeterminate numbers and it's uncertain which unit is being measured, volume or money. I'm still leaning towards "pence", i.e. a shilling, for this piece. There is a larger denomination in the Thomas Daws token series, with the value "60" (which if that's in pence would be 5 shillings, or a crown); there's no need to denote the tokens in multiples of 12 if you're measuring bushels rather than pence. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
