Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Arms of Diamond (alias Dymond, Dayman, Deyman) of Tiverton: Gules, three fusils conjoined in fess argent over all a fess gules (sic) (Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.283). It is unusual if not unheard of to have a fess of the same tincture as the field. Contrary to the "Rule of Tinctures". Also, if the fess is correctly gules, the blazon should have been Gules, three fusils conjoined in fess argent over all a fess of the first to avoid repetition of tinctures. Image per blazon as printed in Vivian, p.283, possibly erroneous. John Diamond (born 1541) was Mayor of Tiverton in 1620. (Vivian, p.283). This family of merchants issued trade tokens of nominal value one farthing, which displayed these arms. (See: SEVENTEENTH CENTURY DEVONSHIRE TOKENS, AND THEIR ISSUERS, NOT DESCRIBED IN BOYNE'S WORK, H. S. Gill
The Numismatic Chronicle and Journal of the Numismatic Society, New Series, Vol. 16 (1876), pp. 247-266, 398). see also: Williamson's Trade Tokens Issued in the Seventeenth Century in England, Wales and Ireland, (1891), item: W316, Farthing, date 1658, displaying the family arms. Obverse: The family arms, "THOMAS DAYMAN" Reverse: "T A D OF TIVERTON 58 T A D" [1] |
