Description: | A 17th century copper-alloy halfpenny token issued by Robert Maltby of Bawtry and dated 1664. The token is in good fine condition, except for a crack extending across the width of the flan. It is 18.5mm in diameter and 0.8mm thick. It weighs 1.13gm. The obverse has the arms of the Worshipful Company of Mercers of London, consisting of a forward-facing figure of the Virgin Mary, wearing a radiate crown of five points, within a square-topped shield made up of an outer, plain edge and an inner ropework edge. The shield is surrounded by a legend within an outer beaded circle. The legends have pellet stops. The reverse has "HIS HALF PENY" across the field in three lines. For reference see Dickinson, Nottinghamshire No. 15A.
