<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneyer12, post: 1480418, member: 28233&quot;]the name on the stamp of arkwright is famous in the uk, as he invented the spinning jenny to aid the production of cottom fabric, his mill was at cromford in derbyshire and this is either a genuine piece from the time of the invention or a souvenir, i have honestly not seen anything like it before but in the late 18th century in the uk there was a shortage of regal coinage and many local traders/councils issued tokens for use as coinage and some were even counterstamps on foreigh coins. the first link deals with the token that you have of which only 2 examples are known in the uk, and the second link is a history of the mill..................</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.massonmills.co.uk/News/Wins-Silver-2006.html.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.massonmills.co.uk/News/Wins-Silver-2006.html.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.massonmills.co.uk/News/Wins-Silver-2006.html.php</a></p><p><a href="http://www.massonmills.co.uk/News/Wins-Silver-2006.html.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.massonmills.co.uk/News/Wins-Silver-2006.html.php" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.massonmills.co.uk/News/Wins-Silver-2006.html.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.massonmills.co.uk/News/Wins-Silver-2006.html.php" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="http://www.peakdistrictinformation.com/visits/arkwright.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.peakdistrictinformation.com/visits/arkwright.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.peakdistrictinformation.com/visits/arkwright.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>if indeed your token is genuine why don&#039;t you ask your employer to donate it to the arkwright trust to further enhance the information about an extremely important worldwide site of industrial revolution history.......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
