Seventeenth Century Tokens Of The British Isles

Is the first publication in over one hundred years to list all known major types of the seventeenth century series of token coinage issued in the British Isles between 1648 and 1679. The tokens were mostly struck in copper or brass in denominations of farthings and half-pennies. They offer a fascinating insight into life and trade, personal circumstances and local history in the third quarter of the seventeenth-century. This catalogue lists about fourteen thousand different tokens, based on the numbering system used in G.C. Williamson's classic work 'Trade Tokens Issued in the Seventeenth Century'. Many tokens have come to light since that date and new entries have been inserted. The tokens are described in an abbreviated form that is sufficiently detailed to enable identification. Full indexes list token-issuing localities and also issuers whose tokens show no locality. An indispensable catalogue for all collectors of the seventeenth-century token series, this book will also be of great interest and use to local history students and economists interested in the period.
