PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 03/22/2018 2:20 pm Struggling with that one - I can't see enough lettering to make out words. I thought it might be 17th century token, but it is a bit large and the second image is a bit too abstract. Is it possible to try to get some better pictures? Maybe dampened - can make the letters stand out more, or with a side angled lighting? If that doesn't help I'm afraid a bit more cleaning to clear some of the crud and emphasise the lettering...

Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 03/22/2018 6:35 pm It's a Nuremberg jeton, not a coin; looks like a "ship penny" type. Check the UKDFD article for information and a list of the types commonly found in Britain. 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
Eddystone New Member United Kingdom 12 Posts	Posted 03/23/2018 05:26 am Thank you very much Sap. Yes on closer inspection it does in fact match all the detail of a "Ship Penny" Jetton. Found several Jettons but this is the very first of this type. Much appreciate the assistance all, many thanks. Ed Report this Post to the Staff
