Comment
Tokens were issued from much smaller locations, including the town of Romney Marsh in New Romney and the villages of Brookland and Dymchurch.
The names of the local merchants responsible for issuing the coins were usually printed on the edge.
William Parish owned 4 High Street, Dymchurch from 1784 to 1837.
