A worn copper alloy post-medieval token, formed from a halfpenny of George II (AD 1727-1760).

On the reverse of the coin the initials W K have been incised. Tokens were a common occurance from the 17th century, some lead tokens being crudely made while other copper alloy tokens were manufactured to much higher standards. There are a couple of examples of other tokens with serrated edges (see SUSS-72B7…

Copper alloy transport token with five roundels counterstamped on the reverse of a halfpenny of George III (1760-1820), dated to 1799 on the reverse.
