The first of this group of masonic tokens in D&H has the edge HALFPENNY PAYABLE AT THE BLACK HORSE TOWER HILL, which makes it look like a trade token. However, it was more likely that the order of Masons used this public house as a regular meeting hall and the token was meant for circulation or for collectors.
