Te prywatne żetony handlowe zostały wyprodukowane z konieczności z powodu braku monety królewskiej. Po wojnie domowej, w której panujący monarcha, Karol I, został ścięty, i okresie rządów Wspólnoty Narodów pod rządami Olivera Cromwella, a później jego syna, Ryszarda, monarchia została ostatecznie przywrócona w 1660 roku, kiedy na tron wstąpił Karol II. W czasie, gdy wybito te żetony z Norwich, minęło już około 20 lat bez monet królewskich o małych nominałach i dopiero w 1672 roku wyemitowano pierwsze farhingi i półgrosze Karola II.

Istnieją dwa warianty awersu żetonu z datą 1668:
B-W#226 - litera A znajduje się częściowo nad literą R, a częściowo nad literą W z Norwich;
B-W#227 - litera A znajduje się dokładnie nad literą W z Norwich;

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

These private trade tokens were produced out of necessity due to the lack of regal coinage. Following the Civil War, which saw the reigning monarch, Charles I, beheaded and a period of Commonwealth government under Oliver Cromwell and later his son, Richard, the monarchy was finally restored in 1660 when Charles II ascended to the throne. At the time these Norwich tokens were struck, there had already been some 20 years without small denomination regal coinage and it was not until 1672 that the first Charles II farhings and halfpennies were issued.

Two obverse variants of the 1668 dated token exist:
B-W#226 - the letter A is partly over the R and partly over the W of Norwich;
B-W#227 - the letter A is exactly over the letter W of Norwich;
