Description: | A copper alloy possible Post Medieval pierced token. The obverse of the object has a legend which is difficult to decipher, possibly reading 'TIRTONOOORTOOOR' which appears to be nonsensical. The central image depicts an elephant standing left. The object is pierced through the centre, which obscures the body of the elephant. The reverse of the object has a four semi-circles which create a central long cross shape, with the pierced hole at its centre. The object resembles a silver Roman Republican denarius (KENT-6D0CF1) however this example appears to be a toke or jetton perhaps of much later date. It measures 19.5 mm in diameter, 1.3 mm thick and weighs 1.69 g.
