Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper alloy hat token dating to the period AD 1860 to 1868. The obverse depicts a top hat with the word ROBERTSONS above and "HALF GUINEA HAT" below. There is a fine border of pellets running parallel to the circumference of the token. The reverse reads "Robertsons Hat and Cap Manufacturers, Cooper of Devonshire Street, Carlisle".
