A specious token using the reverse of the private token of Lacon Lambe, the son of Mary Lambe. (Somersetshire Bath D&H 24). Mr. Lambe, as well as being a token collector himself, was also probably a member the local yeomanry. The Lambe & Son trade token is the Somersetshire Bath D&H 50. The P.A.ET.F stands for the latin “Pro Aris et Focis, the motto of the Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry, meaning ‘For Hearth and Home”.
