Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Post Medieval tin alloy token of James II (AD 1685-1688), dating to 1688. An "American plantations token", uncertain type. cf. examples published by Newman (1964: plate LVI).
Such tokens were valued at one 24th of a Spanish real, or one and a half farthings. Minted in the closing months of James II's reign and intended for use in the colonies, it is doubtful that the tokens were ever officially authorised for circulation and there is no evidence they ever circulated in North America (Newman 1964: 324).

This ration tin most likely dates to the Boer War period (1899-1902), and is sometimes referred to as an 'iron' ration. At one end of the tin is the word 'COCOA', whilst the other end has the word 'DINNER' in relief. Internally, the tin is divided into two sections, the 'DINNER' containing a beef extract (a little like 'Oxo Cubes') and the 'COCOA' compartment contains compressed cocoa powder. There is a soldered tin strip at each end of the tin, which would have been opened with a small key, similar to the way some modern cans are opened today. This example is intriguing, because as t…
