WJC-9333: (1) Edward the Confessor
: 1616-38 Silver Simon de Passe Token.
Machine-pressed silver tokens or counters depicting the monarchs of
England, issued in sets (thought to be thirty six), composed either of pieces
of different monarchs or repetitions of the same type. Thought to be primarily used as markers or
counters "for reckoning and for play". The dies were very cleverly sunk to give the
impression of a hand-engraved silver token.
Some of these counters were executed early in the 1616-38 period by
Nicholas Hilliard, jeweller; goldsmith and engraver to Elizabeth 1st and
afterwards to James 1st. In 1617, Hilliard
received a patent granting him the monopoly for twelve years of all the
engraved portraits of the King and the Royal Family. He subsequently sold licences to other
engravers to execute these counters, one of which was to Simon de Passe and his
brother, both of whom excelled in the art of engraving. This sub-licence to the de Passe brothers was
issued late in the reign of James 1st.
Collectively, these tokens are all termed De Passe tokens for
convenience.
