Cool pickups, Stefanie! 

The 1794 D&H-4 Cornwall is quite nice, love the unicorns!  It has the look of a few jetons I've seen, with the helmets and shield. I wonder if the engraver was French?

I am not sure who the engraver was but wouldn't doubt the theory of him being Franch.
I have to send these to Goodman for proper imaging

Those are nice, Stef!

I suspect that the designer was probably English. France wasn't getting along too well with England during that period. Is there a name or initials anywhere on it? I could look it up.

Very nice tokens Stef!

The engraver for the Cornwall token was named Ponthon (as listed in D&H)  The token was struck by Matthew Boulton.
