Full Description

Above a plain band around the base the sides are covered with a spiral of circular indentations, some of which have punctured through the metal. The crown is plain but has six facets which were probably formed by the user rather than the maker. 15th or 16th century.
Post medieval farthing token. Ed. Clark, Haberdasher of Cambridge, 1652.
