The Ronald Josland Collection of 17th Century Kent Tokens with a selection of other tokens I have been building this collection of 17th century tokens of Kent and town pieces over the past 30 years or more, greatly helped by my 45 year membership of the Kent Numismatic Society, where for 25 years I have acted as secretary. I have engaged in detailed research on great number of the issuers of Kent, culminating in an extensive archive which I hope I will be able to publish at some stage.Â
After taking early retirement in 1990 from a managerial position with British Telecom, I joined the museum service at Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery. During my time there I took on the task of assessing and re-packaging some of the tokens housed in the museum. This included three collections put together by the Rev. Ackworth: his hop tokens, love tokens and 17th century tokens. After this I continued my work on the various 17th century collections held in the museum's archive and was pleased to have had an essay titled 'A Group of Seventeenth Century Tokens in Maidstone Museum', published in the Kent annual publication 'Archaeologia Cantiana' (Vol CXVI 1996). On retirement from the museum I continued in this task as a volunteer, the project lasting in total over six years.
I continue as a keen numismatic collector but having taken the 17th century collection as far as I could, I am now taking a new direction in my collecting field. I hope that the future owners of my tokens will derive as much pleasure from them as I have over the years.
