Hi

I’ve been busy with studies recently so that’s the reason numismatics has been put on hold for the last few months.

 

Anyway I acquired this coin from a lot I was gifted to on my birthday last month and I’m unsure what coin it is.

Weight: 1.32g

Diameter: 18.48mm

Composition: Most likely Bronze

Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

Quirte interresting, but sorry I'm clueless

Maybe some half penny token? Try to decipher the legend and you might get a clue.

 England. Late 17th century - like these four similar:

Thank you for helping it would make sense that token is from Grantham because I live only 25 miles from the town.

 

I will make a request for it to be added to Numista in the coming days.
