Description: | Very worn and incomplete cast and struck copper alloy probable 17th Century traders token. Although there is clearly lettering around the outside edge of one face it is only possible to clearly see [...]GER[...] which could plausibly be part of MONGER as these tokens often concern professions but it could also be part of a name or place.Such tokens were in common usage in the seventeenth century during the period 1648-1672 when there was a shortage of national coinage of low denomination. They were produced to meet local needs and are rarely found far from their point of origin.
