Description: | A cast lead alloy Post Medieval token of Elizabeth I (AD1558-1603). depicting a double-headed eagle/crowned rose with legend 'GOD SAVE THE QVENE', (North 2062; Mitchiner 4738ff.). The token is pierced at 5 'O' Clock.North (1975, 140) notes that such pieces were probably medalets rather than tokens as some appear to relate to Mary, Queen of Scots. Although North dates the tokens to c.1574AD (ibid.), Mitchiner has revised the dates of the 'GOD SAVE' reverse to c. 1590-1603AD (1988, 1653).Token has been pieced at 5 O'Clock
