Saor Alba Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Coin #6 is a 17th century English traders token, the shield on the reverse is a stock image that was used on many of them in the mid 1650's. It would have circulated as a farthing or 1/4d. Unfortunately there is not much of the legend to place it to a particular issuer or place. Coin #2 appears to be an early 17th century ie 1620s or so Spanish Maravedis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
