Description: | Post Medieval to Modern copper alloy (bronze) token. It was manufactured for the Moresby Colliery (Cumberland). The land came into the ownership of Sir John Brougham of Scales in 1720, who sold it to Sir James Lowther in 1737. This pattern of token has previously been identified as being produced for John Brougham's Moresby Colliery, which would date them to between 1720 and 1737 AD. This may well be the case but the manufacture method and style suggest a later date. In any case it is likely to date between c1700 and c1900 AD.The diameter is 24mm. The token is corroded.
