ADDENDA TO DEVONSHIRE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY<br />

TOKENS, NOT DESCRIBED IN BOYNE'S WORK.<br />

Continued from N.C., N.S., Vol. XVI., page 266.<br />

DURING <strong>the</strong> five years that have passed since my previous<br />

list <strong>of</strong> ninety-six unpublished tokens appeared in our<br />

Num. Chron., seventeen new to myself, <strong>and</strong> to several<br />

large collectors elsewhere, have been found in different<br />

parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> county. Four <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m belong to Ply-<br />

mouth, making forty in all issued from that old port.<br />

Three o<strong>the</strong>rs in <strong>the</strong> following list were sent out from<br />

places not represented in Boyne, viz., Dodbrooke, Halber-<br />

ton, <strong>and</strong> Ha<strong>the</strong>rleigh.<br />

I have <strong>the</strong> two latter in my collection ; that <strong>of</strong> Halberton<br />

is brass, having for device <strong>the</strong> Clothworkers' Arms (see<br />

Boyne's Introduction, page xiv., for description), with <strong>the</strong><br />

chevron carefully engraved as ermine, showing five spots<br />

on <strong>the</strong> fur.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ha<strong>the</strong>rleigh farthing is copper, having only <strong>the</strong><br />

date on <strong>the</strong> obverse, instead <strong>of</strong> a device.<br />

As Devonshire is but poorly illustrated in Boyne's<br />

plates, none <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> town-pieces (<strong>the</strong> most interesting <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> series) being shown, I have had three <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m en-<br />

graved that are imperfectly or incorrectly described by<br />

Boyne, for <strong>the</strong> benefit <strong>of</strong> our members who are interested
