Description: | Copper coin. Privately minted penny, probably milled but now with a slightly scyphate flan, of an indeterminate issuer; dated 1813.Obverse description: A distant view of a building with indistinct features in the foreground; a legend over two lines is set in a generous exergue below a strongly defined line.Obverse inscription: IO[--]E?L / 1813Reverse description; Possibly a cross fleury with one or two supplementary arms, within a well-defined inner circle. An indistinct circumferential legend includes the letter A but is otherwise illegiblePaul Cannon kindly adds the following notes:I am fairly sure that this is a Nottingham penny token. The building on it is Nottingham Castle on a rock with the legend 'NOTTINGHAM PENNY' around. Even in this worn conditionthe last few letters of the town's nameare visible. In the exergue is the word 'TOKEN' and date 1813. The image on the reverse is a ragged cross with three coronets, Nottingham's Coat of Arms and 'PAYABLE BY J.M.FELLOWS'; 'A POUND NOTE FOR 240', though little of this inscription is visible. For a better preserved example seehttp://webapps.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/explorer/index.php?qu=nottingham&oid=170255There are a number of varieties of this token.Diameter: 34.4mm, Weight: 18.84gms, die axis: possibly 12
