M Dickinson, Lincolnshire 208, halfpenny. Williamson , Lincolnshire 208, farthing. Dies as Norweb 2979.

I have listed as farthing/halfpenny as although this size token would often be a halfpenny, there is nothing on the token to say so, the reference HIS TOKEN would suggest a farthing, on a halfpenny I would expect HIS DVBBLE TOKEN. Another concideration is that many of the later Somerset farthings are have large flans.
