LotsofCoppers Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 This token is struck off center so I can't make out the entire legend. I think it says "FARTHING" on both sides...? It seems like it may match the description of a Cork Farthing token but I have not been able to confirm with any photos with an online search - the ones I have found look different. I think there are varieties though so maybe that would explain it? It is sized about 18mm & 2.0g. Thanks for any help Quote
LotsofCoppers Posted December 24, 2016 Author Posted December 24, 2016 I'm going to answer my own question! Before I posted this I had sent an email to an expert but the email bounced back to me and I thought it didn't go through to him but it obviously did since he just replied: You have a Cork farthing Dickinson No. 203, issued c. 1656. They come in 2 sizes. Relatively common. 1 Quote
