The Essex tokens are numerous, and nearly three-fourths of them are farthings. Colchester, at this time an important
manufacturing town, furnishes seventy-one varieties, which are the most common in the series; amongst them are several
mysterious merchant's marks. There are no Town-pieces.
It is curious to note that in two instances the name of the county is abbreviated SX, but the spelling is, as a rule,
ESEX, or our own accepted spelling, ESSEX. There are, however, two instances where the issuer has
gone out of his way to spell the name of his county, thus--ESAXES and EXSSEX.
In instances where a token is mentioned as being in a particular collection, it is the only specimen known.
