So this is your first 17th Century Token, rough date range of 1650s-1670s. I haven't got the book with me, but can look later. They have the shop keeper/pub owner Name (in this case Charles), some with date, plus the Villiage/town name etc...

In case you didn't have the full details this was from the Dyers' Arms Pub.

Also an interesting fact about these copper-alloy/brass Farthings;
The expression 'its not worth a Brass Farthing' was born from these tokens, as you need more than 1 to use them in the issuing Pub/shop.

Welcome.

Dad spotted this, not me.

Doesn't look like any type of token I know about. I think this falls in the Medallion bracket, without the lettering, there are thousands of medallions & I have no books on them. Sorry.
