Post Medieval trade token of Thomas Stratford of Warwick. Dickenson variation of No. 188. Williamson No. 188 but may be a halfpenny. Trade tokens were issued between 1648 and 1672 at a time when there was little low denomination coinage being issued by the crown.

Such trade tokens rarely travel far from their place of issue and provide an insight to the trade of the time. In 1672 regal copper coinage was introduced and the tr…

Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper-alloy S-shaped fastener or strap fitting in the form of a swan or snake, dating from the post medieval period, about 1550 - 1900.

There is an incuse longitudinal line at the centre of each face either side of a thickened collar at the midpoint, and the body of the swan or snake is detailed with mouldings to represent scales or feat…
