numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 10/24/2024 7:31 pm Think this is brass. The coat-of-arms on the obverse looks like the Spanish. There is no text on the token except for a small underlined VB to the right of the arms. It measures 28 mm. Any ideas on this one? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/24/2024 7:36 pm VB is going to be Van Brook Tokens. Here is the tokencatalog link: https://tokencatalog.com/token_reco...rd_offset=30 I used CROWN and VB as my keywords for the search. Added: also note the VB in the top of the crest as well as to the right of it.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25030 Posts	Posted 10/24/2024 8:32 pm You are most welcome, numismatist6! I recognized your token immediately as I acquired one about 20 years ago and was as befuddled as you with it. Only after Spence posted the identification (see thread linked in my above post) was I able to solve this vexing mystery. Lexington, Kentucky (Fayette County), U.S.A.
