Description: | Copper alloyPossible token.?Obverse description: Shield with concave or engrailed top with indistinct device above.?Reverse description: Indistinct?Reverse inscription: [---] NOSTR[----]The following observation was kindly offered by Paul Cannon, and the original record is amended with grateful acknowledgement of his help:'Despite the poor preservation I am fairly sure that this is a half penny Leeds token of 1791. The shape of the shield is quite distinctive and I can just make out the hanging fleece in the lower part of the shield. The crest above is an owl. The inscription around would read LEEDS HALFPENNY with 1791 at the base of the shield. The other face has a standing figure of Bishop Blaze. His mitre can be been clearly seen and the surviving inscription forms part of the known token, [ARTIS] NOSTR[AE CONDITOR]. Reference Dalton & Hamer, Yorkshire, Leeds, 43-52.Diameter: 29.3mm, Weight: 9.05gms.
