Edward Lloyd's tokens were struck to be used by his customers, guardsmen, who were the forerunners of the Grenadier Guards.

This the only known token in the series with a digraph initial.
Edward Lloyd is clearly Welsh, because he recognises the existence of "LL" {pronounced "thl"} as opposed to an ordinary "L", which Welsh regards as a different letter. The sound is produced by putting the tongue in the middle of the mouth and trying to put out one "L" each side.
Many thanks to David Powell for this added information.
