Title
17th Century Trade Token
Description
English: A post medieval copper alloy half penny trade token of Robert Webb, Rotherhithe Wall, London dating AD1656-1674.

The obverse depicts a sailing ship in full sail, with a roped border separating the image from the legend.

The legend reads: ROBERT.WEBB.AT.YE.

The reverse has: HIS HALFE PENY with the initials R.H.W in place of a central image. There is a roped border seperating the legend: TAVERN.ON.REDRIFFE.WALL. There is a flower initial mark at the top on both sides of the token.

A parallel can be found in Williamson Vol II (1150 no 286).

The overall preservation is very good.
