As a result traders and business proprietors began issuing tokens as an alternate coinage with equivalent denominations of a farthing, half penny or penny.

Post Medieval trade token of unidentified trader due to wear and corrosion.
Trade tokens were issued between 1648 and 1672 at a time when there was little low denomination coinage being issued by the crown.

Such trade tokens rarely travel far from their place of issue and provide an insight to the trade of the time. In 1672 regal copper coinage was introduced and the trade tokens were then banned (Besly 1997, 20).
