Provenance: BW. 55 bt Seaby 1986).

Jane Browne, widow of John Browne (†December 1658); Thomas Law (1626-1714), grocer, wife’s name Ann (†July 1678). The style of the token issued by Jane Browne would suggest it was struck
c. 1664-8 (cf. BW. 52, now regarded as a misreading), not as early as 1660, so the date may have had some other significance. The token of Thomas Law bears two dates, 1659 and 1665
