GREAT BRITAIN: AE halfpenny token, ND (1794), DH-1, Banbury, Oxfordshire, William Rusher; WM. RUSHER HATTER BOOKSELR & STATIONER / BANBURY around three-quarter right facing bust of William Rusher, with longish hair and a high cravat // DEUS EST NOBIS SOL ET SCUTUM around Borough’s emblem of the sun with rays and a face in its center enclosed in a circle, PAYABLE AT BANBURY OXFORD OR READING on edge, a pleasing mint state example, PCGS graded MS62 BN. Although this token is undated, it is likely to have been struck in 1794, the year William Rusher set up his shop in the market place in Banbury. A contemporary advertisement in Jackson's Oxford Journal, for 13 November 1794, offers quite a revealing glimpse of the scope of William’s business at that particular moment: "All kinds of Books and Stationery, Mens and Boys Hats, Gold Rings, Silver Goods, Plated Buckles, Looking Glasses etc. etc. now selling cheap at William Rusher’s (the late Mr White’s shop) in the Market Place, Banbury."
