Provenance: Glendining Auction, 5 September 1984, lot 313 (part); P.D. Greenall Collection, Baldwin Auction 16, 30 October 1997, lot 139 (part) [from Baldwin September 1984]; W.H. Pheatt Collection, Spink Auction 208, 22-3 June 2011, lot 836.
Daphin's token is struck from the same reverse die as the halfpenny issued by Robert Terrey from the same establishment (see Lot 1078). Burn (1855) and Lillywhite (1972) both considered that Terrey succeeded Daphin (whose name suggests a French origin)
