TOKEN

Unique ID: SF-B76463

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An extremely worn copper alloy trade token of Post-Medieval date. Both faces are too worn to closely identify the maker or town, and although some lettering can just barely be seen it is uncertain precisely what the legend reads. One type (obverse?) seems to depict an animal, possibly a lamb or sheep walking to the left within an inner circle. The other type is uncertain. This token is of probable 17th century AD date.
