Spence Moderator United States 34464 Posts	Posted 11/09/2016 9:56 pm Very interesting. They could be 17th century Irish tradesman tokens. I'm trying to find these exact designs.

Spence Moderator United States 34464 Posts	Posted 11/09/2016 10:23 pm Well David I can't find either design online and I don't have the right books. I suggest looking here for more clues: https://oldcurrencyexchange.com/201...amoe-cowrey/ Hopefully someone else here on CCF can be more helpful.

Sap Moderator Australia 16889 Posts	Posted 11/09/2016 11:15 pm Not Irish, English. The top one - with the clearly legible "IN PYRTON", comes from the town of Pyrton, Oxfordshire. Issued by a fellow named John Farmer (or Farmar) in 1656. The bottom one is too badly corroded for me to make out, other than it was issued by a gentleman surnamed "Cooke". I'm not familiar enough with the series to narrow it down further. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
