Owner Comments:
Cornwall-Penryn, D&H-4,PF-65 BN. Edge: plain. Rarity: Common. Diesinker/Engraver: Listed in D&H as Ponthon. Listed else where as Kuchler. Manufacturer: Boulton at Solo mint. - Somewhat of a common token but not in this grade. The die maker did an out standing job on this token as everything is razor sharp. Lots going on in this token and well worth a close look if you ever get the chance to get your hands on one. Obverse: The complete arms of Lord de Dunstanville supported by two unicorns: "PRO REGE ET POPULO - LORD DE DUNSTANVILLE COLONEL". Reverse: The arms of Penryn surmounted by a plumed helmet and surrounded by military trophies: "PENRYN VOLUNTEERRS FIRST INROLLD APRIL 3 1794". Plain edge. Pedigree: J. Bobbe, Token Examiner- April 1998, $195. Gimby Collection 2006, $195. (Note: Registry web page lists this as a MS -65 but slab shows PF-65, which it is.)
