i) 'The high relief of the design of the obverse would render this unsuitable for currency. The reverse is remarkably neat. T. Wyon, Senior, was in all probability the die-sinker, as he was employed by Kempson'


S. H. Hamer, 'Notes on the Private Tokens, Their Issuers and Die-Sinkers', Part 2, British Numismatic Journal, Volume 2, 1906
