Saor Alba Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 It is definitely a 17th century trade token, the big problem with a lot of them is that they had stock impressions that the makers just changed the texts on so identification to a particular issuer might be difficult without clear legends. Sometime have a look at the many chandler tokens from the era, they usually have the same or very similar images of the chandler on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
