Description: | A complete copper alloy token dating to the Post Medieval Period (AD 1650 - AD 1659).The token is circular in plan and rectangular in cross section. The reverse is dated 165[ ] and it is possible to read (B) B in the field. The obverse is unclear due to corrosion. The token has been pierced with a small circular puncture in the 12 o'clock on the obverse. Abrasion and corrosion whilst in the plough soil has resulted in the loss of much of the orginal surface detail.Diameter: 14.6 mmThickness: 1.1 mmWeight: 0.6 gTim Everson comments: The initial on the bottom right (B) is the initial of the wife's first name. Bottom left is the initial of the issuer's first name which could be I, E, F, R or B. Above them would be the first letter of their surname which we can't see. Nor can we see the device or any of the legend save the partial date. I think it will have to remain as an uncertain 17th century token.
