Title: Re: Coin id Post by: Radnor Bandit (Ian) on February 05, 2017, 05:12:05 PM That's not a parrys mine token as it's not shrouded head. Have you got photo of reverse. That'll help. The bust on yours looks like reverse of G3. It is a trade token from late 18th early 19th C. There are sh*t loads of different designs out there. Start your google hunt for tokens from locality where you found it. These tokens can travel long distances due to being classed unofficially official coinage at the time as the proper copper coinage was in very short supply.
