Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating history of small change in 17th-century England, focusing on the tokens issued by merchants, corporations, and even individuals when the government struggled to provide sufficient coinage. The author traces the origins of these tokens back to the Norman Conquest, highlighting the growing need for small change as the English economy developed. The text explores the rise of these tokens during the turbulent period of the English Civil War, showing how they became a vital part of local economies in the absence of official currency. The book examines the variety of token designs, showcasing the emblems of trade guilds, shop signs, and even popular figures like Robin Hood, providing a glimpse into everyday life in 17th-century Yorkshire. The author also delves into the social and political implications of these tokens, revealing how they reflected the loyalty of the people to the monarchy, even during the Civil War. The book concludes by analyzing the impact of the government's decision to finally establish a national copper coinage in 1672, marking the end of the era of private tokens in England. This insightful work offers a unique perspective on the history of money, social customs, and local power dynamics during a critical period in English history.
