NumisMattic2200 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Slightly unusual Communion Token here;- first of all, it appears to be made of copper, whereas most of these seem to be of either Lead, Iron or Zinc and secondlt, an unusual quote "DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME" with the first two words in the incorrect order?.. Can anyone tell me what the 'T.E.' stands for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone tell me what the 'T.E.' stands for? The "DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME" is okay, it is also written "THIS DO etc" depending on which version of the Bible is used. The T. E. might be for Tyndale's Edition (of the Bible) Nice token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone tell me what the 'T.E.' stands for? On second thoughts: "But let a man examine himself" sounds as if they were aware of testicular cancer. So perhaps T. E. is just for a self administered Testicular Examination I know I have a warped mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 The token relates to a town in Forfarshire called `Kirriemuir' which is sited circa 19 miles or so north of Dundee. Birth place of the author of `Peter Pan'.....just to add to the significance . Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobking08 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Often the initials of the pastor/minister of the church which issued the communion token were included on the token. "T. E." could very well be the minister's initials. You could check in one of the many guides that have been published for these tokens including Communion Tokens of the World by Lester Burzinski (1999) and Comprehensive Directory of World Communion Tokens by O. D. Cresswell (1985). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I did searched it in the in the web. About the priest even the bishop but it turn up is not T.E. in initials during that time I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
