Description: | Complete but heavily worn copper alloy token halfpenny of 17th Century date (c.1648-1672).Obverse: Initials, probably arranged in a triangle possibly including B or R to the bottom right with illegible inscription aroundReverse: IllegibleSmall change tokens, such as this one, were produced by local traders & other institutions for a short period in the latter 17th century due to shortage of officially produced low denomination coinage following the civil war. Most tokens do not seem to have travelled far from their point of issue so it is most likely this is one issued within Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire or possibly Lincolnshire.
