Post Medieval copper alloy 'Pineapple Penny' token of Barbados. On the obverse there is an African's head facing left and wearing a crown with Prince of Wales plumes. On the reverse is a drop shaped pineapple.

Two worn copper alloy farming tokens. One shows a horse (or possibly a deer) standing, facing left, the obverse is too degraded to interpret. This is 15mm diameter. The second is slightly smaller at 13mm diameter.It shows either a set of loaded scales or a cross with heads below, depending on which way up it is held. The obverse may show a robed figure, although again it is degraded. This possible religious imagery may suggest that it is a church token or souvenir, rather than trade one. Tokens were popular methods of payment in the 17th to 19th centuries AD.

A very worn copper alloy token. On one face is a ring of chain like decoration which forms a dividing line round the token. Outside this is lettering which runs around the entire circumference, this is largely indistinguishable. Inside the circle is written THEIR PENNY 1672, with decorative, simple flowers underneath. On the other side is the same chain-like division again with lettering around the circumference. In the centre is a wide plain circular image, with another circle in the centre, across this is a broad line. What this represents is not easy to see.

Although it is probably silver, it is not possible to determine its age and it is unlikely to be over 300 years old and therefore it does not qualify as Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996.

Copper alloy token probably a Manchester halfpenny. The right hand image features the United East India Company bale mark and the inscription PAYABLE AT INo. FIELDINGS GROCER & TEA DEALER.

Complete Post-Medieval, sub-circular, uniface, lead alloy token dating from AD 1600-1800. This is a Powell type 1 token. The obverse face has a six-petalled flower and central nipple.

A copper alloy shop token. The obverse bears the legend "John Thornley Tea Merchant" around the outside and "Established 1839" surrounding the image of a tea pot in the centre.

Lead alloy Post Medieval cast lead circular uniface token, c. 1550-1800 AD. The token has been cast with a raised design decorated with a series of raised lines. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). The token shares similarities with SUR-42A6E8, PUBLIC-FD45D1, WILT-F28092 and PUBLIC-479A62. The diameter is 17mm.

Cast lead alloy token dating from the medieval or post-medieval, possibly the 15th-17th century AD. It is a circular uniface lead token with a plain reverse and a possibly inscribed obverse. The obverse is divided by a long cross into four quarters and there is a symbol or letter in each quarter. Depending on whether the X can be read as the letter X or the initial cross (+), two variants can be suggested: WPAX or +WPA. Prof. Elisabeth Okasha suggests that there are two likely possibilities. Either it reads PX (for PAX 'Peace') and AW (for alpha and omega), or it reads PAX and the …

Perhaps a copper alloy mining token or 'Truck' from the late 18th to early 19th century AD. The diameter is 38mm.

In the period 1787 to 1819 Britain was again to resort to the wide scale use of a commercial token coinage. As they were designe…

A worn copper alloy token probably issued by a merchant. The lettering is still legible and appears to spell the name William Ingham in a legend that runs around the edge. The reverse side is heavily corroded. As had been the case in the mid seventeenth century it was private traders and industrialists who brought about the revival in the use of token coinage in Britain during the late 1780s. The reasons for resorting to a token coinage was again due to a dearth in the circulating levels of regal copper coinage and the lettering suggest a fairly recent date, c. AD 1750-1850. The huge …
