Post medieval copper alloy token farthing of 'the Staple' dating to AD 1648 to 1670. This is a known type but the name and location of the issuer is unknown. Williamson (1891:1427), Without Names of Towns, Issuers or Initials, 91. Because the issuer is uncertain the find spot is particular significant as it may help the issuing area to be narrowed down. The findspot in Somerset is interesting in the light of a type also issued by a 'Merchant of the Staple' which has recently been identified as a local type (Burnett 2013). The token is badly chipped leaving an irregular edge, thi…
