The 1670 halfpenny token of John Unwin of Leytonstone was octagonal in shape, its obverse reading "JOHN | UNWIN . AT | LAYTON | STONE"[1] and its reverse "HIS . HALF . PENY" above an archer shooting at a stag.[2] The archer no doubt was meant to represent Robin Hood, for John Unwin was the proprietor of the Robin Hood in Leytonstone, Essex.
