English: A complete English Post-Medieval copper-alloy farthing trade token, dating AD 1651. Williamson (1889:553 No. 499).
Obverse: AT . THE . HOLE . IN . THE . WALL = a hole in a wall Reverse: IN . CHANCERY . LANE . 1651= I . M . F Dimensions: diameter: 15.56mm; weight: 0.93g. Tibbs (1866) writes "This odd sign exists in Chancery-lane, at a house on the east side, immediately opposite the old gate of Lincoln's-Inn; "and," says Mr. Burn, "being supported by the dependants on legal functionaries, appears to have undergone fewer changes than the law, retaining all the vigour of a new establishment." There is another "Hole in the Wall" in St. Dunstan's-court, Fleet-street, much frequented by printers. Mr. Akerman says:-"It was a popular sign, and several taverns bore the same designation, which probably originated in a certain tavern being situated in some umbrageous recess in the old City walls. Many of the most popular and most frequented taverns of the present day are located in twilight courts and alleys, into which Phœbus peeps at Midsummer-tide only when on the meridian. Such localities may have been selected on more than one account: they not only afforded good skulking 'holes' for those who loved drinking better than work; but beer and other liquors keep better in the shade. These haunts, like Lady Mary's farm, were- 'In summer shady, and in winter warm.' " Reference: Williamson, G. C. 1889. Trade Tokens Issued in the Seventeenth Century Vol. I. Elliot Stock: London. Timbs J. 1866. Club Life of London Vol. II, London Copper alloy trade tokens were first struck in 1648. In 1656 half penny tokens were introduced. 1674 by Royal decree production of trade tokens ceased. Pers comm Verity Anthony |
