    Just to expand on what loach wrote:
    Scorrier House, just south of the village, was built in 1778 by John Williams the Third of the Williams family, from the fortune he made from tin mining; it was substantially enlarged in 1845.
    The 'coins' or tokens would be used as a form of local currency and presumably used to pay the miners' wages in part; they could be spent in the local shop or store and, as the inscription suggests, exchanged for one pound Sterling (£1) on presenting 240 tokens to John Williams' agent at Scorrier House.
