Description: | A circular copper alloy token which is 23.3mm in diameter and 1.3mm thick. The front is decorated with a double border within which is a double headed eagle. There is a "G" at the top between the heads, a star under the left head, an annulet under the right head and a shield beneath the bird. The shield has a flat top and a curved bottom. It has a wide stripe horizontally across the centre. The date "1591" is split between the space on either side of the shield. The token is pierced with a circular hole just to the right of the "G". The reverse is undecorated but there are four evenly spaced raised dots arranged in a square. The double headed eagle is a Tudor motif. This token is of high quality but less detailed examples made of lead can be seen on page 49 of Fletcher (2005) Leaden Tokens and Tallies.
