A halfpenny token of Will Stevens of Bicester. The obverse is dated 1669 and has three crowns, presumably for an inn of that name. The legend reads WILL : STEVENS . OF . BISTER, (Bicester). In the Token Corresponding Society newsletter from 1984 there is a report of a auction of 17th century tokens in Oxford. One of these tokens was the star lot, fetching £150.
