17th Century Tokens, Devon, Exeter, John Bennet, Farthing, 1657, 2.35g/12h (N 657 obv., different [earlier] rev.; BW. 86). Struck over another Farthing by the same manufacturer with the date 1658, part of the word farthing clearly visible, fine, rare and interesting £50-70

The Norweb specimen, a mule between the manufacturer of this piece and another individual whose style is usually found on pieces dated in the early 1660s, clearly demonstrates that tokens sometimes bear a date other than the year in which they were struck
