Title
1666 copper alloy trade token of John Hughes of Wrexham, spectacle maker
Description
English: Copper alloy trade token of John Hughes, spectacle maker of Wrexham, from the post medieval period dating 1666. The obverse has a pair of spectacles above the initials H above I.K with the legend [IOHN HVGHES 1666]. The reverse has the lettering HIS HALF PENY in three lines above a star at the centre with the legend OF WREXHAM. See Boon (1973, 139 No. 122a) and Williamson (1891 Vol II, 1197, No. 85). The edge of the token is badly damaged so that the legends are largely missing or illegible.
