Hi Guys

I found this on our Club dig today a token and im trying to ID it. Any Clues?
From what I can read so far is John Collibee ?? and on the other side IN*O*C 999 (or 666). In the middle I think its CIA.
It measures 15mm
Cheers

Hi Ferret,

This is Farthing Token from Exon in Exeter. It reads on the one side, "1666 IN EXON / C.I.A." and on the other side "JOHN COLLIBEER with Weavers Arms in centre".

Nice find!

Regards,
Jon

Hi Metalmickey, I did not read or see your link at all when I posted this reply today, so don't stress, and I actually go that info from another site, not Fitzwilliam, the pictures were from Google through picture search!! Cheers, Jon
