Vern's Comments:

An undated token, I date it about 1794 but that's just a guess.

Diesinker, Wyon; manufacturer, Kempson. Ten cwts struck. Common.
Comments. Richard Dinmore carried on business as a saddler's ironmonger and hemp merchant at Timber Hall, Norwich.
There is a variety of this token, D&H 23, with Hope standing on a larger piece of ground, the lower edge being nearly straight.
