Description: | Copper alloy farthing token of the City of Bristol. Obverse CB within circle, reverse a ship issuing from a castle within a square shield (Dickinson 1986:62 no. 21). This token is discussed by Williamson (1967: 241, no. 21), where it is identified as rare and possibly the earliest English trade token, the license to strike to them having been issued by Queen Elizabeth (AD 1558-1603). Dickinson (1986) dates the token to AD 1557-1583.Four other square Bristol tokens have been recorded on this database; from Avon (GLO-276C90), Watlington, Oxon (BH-68B345), Amport, Hants (HAMP-3CF0E4)and Bradfield, Berkshire (BERK-4DA0A2). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
