Hop Picking Token from W.N Vinson

We received the following from Jonathan King.

These tokens were paid for hops picked and exchanged for real money when the hop pickers finished their time and went home. It was a good way to stop the husbands of the pickers spending the earnings in the local pubs.

Thanks Jonathan

I have found a 1d WN Vinson Wateringbury while metal detecting in Dover Kent . After some research on the net I cam across your very interesting site that gave me plenty of information regarding my find. Thank you kind regards Jonathan .
