Full Description
A bronze trade token 2.8cm in diameter and half penny value was presented to Moyses Hall Museum as part of the Harley Collection in 1984. The token is unpierced and very corroded. The figures on the coin are barely discernible and the legend illegible. What is visible suggests that this token held the same design as BSEMH 1984-10/28 ii - CRN 01504 BUN Misc. This makes the token a "Suffolk Number 3" according to "Commercial Coins 1787- 1804" by R C Bell, Corbitt and Hunter Limited, Newcastle upon Tyne, 1963. It was "Found on a garden path at WWK (Walberswick?) November 1967" (S1).
Formerly recorded as WLB MISC
