A copper alloy trade token of post medieval date, c. AD 1600-1750. The token is circular in shape and is badly corroded on both surfaces. The obverse potentially shows a crowned heart design, although the rounded tops of the heart have pointed corners which make the design appear slightly triangular. The reverse seems to show a laureate wreath with a flower inside, possibly a thistle. However, this interpretation is highly speculative due to the nature of the surface. Measurements: 21.9mm diameter, 1.9mm thickness, weight 2.6g.
