Description: | Copper alloy trading token issued in 1669. The obverse shows a motif depicting a bird perched upon what could be wheat, but it could also feasibly be a tower, or even a crown, although this last is unlikely. Owing to wear around the edge of the token the lettering in the border (a beaded row) is unclear; the following is apparent: AT.?WHEAT.SAR
On the reverse the same wear prevents clear reading but it has the following: SHEAFE.IN.RA This last could be RAMSEY as seen on similar tokens. On both sides the perimeter lettering has large unclear areas. However, on the reverse side there is central lettering common to copper tokens issued during and shortly after the Commonwealth: HER / HALF / PENNY / 1669 | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1669 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
