County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A modern white metal copy of a post-medieval halfgroat of Henry VIII (1509-1547), copying either the third or post-humous coinage. There are several reasons to consider this a modern rather than contemporary forgery, probably dating from the Victorian period onwards. The flan of the coin is too round for a hammered coin of this period, and the edges of the coin a flat with sharp corners. The initial mark (cross with pellet centre) is not one known for Henry VIII and the inscriptions on both obverse and reverse contain inaccuracies- the end of obverse inscription reads [ ]RSh; the r…

Modern copper alloy token. The token is oval in plan. In the centre of the token is a large number '5/' (five shillings). Around the perimeter, in capital letters arranged in two concentric rings are the words: [WELLS &] WOOKEY HOLE COOPERATIVE and on the inner [INDUSTRIAL &] PROVIDENTIAL [SOCY LIMITED] The reverse is plain. The society existed in 1868 as the National Archives hold documents of this date but further research could improve this dating. A similar token is recorded in Minnitt and Young (1990:88) no.219.

Cu-alloy token or counter dating from the late 18th century. The major series of these cu-alloy tokens or counters which are depicting Queen Anne appears to have been struck in Birmingham during the reign of George III. Counters of that class bear designs based on Queen Anne's shillings and sixpences: all bear the pre-Union form of shields...and show the mis-spelling 'RIG' for 'REG' which can be seen on this counter, too. Observed dates for pieces run from 1702-1774. This one is dated '1771'.
