Hi all, posting this on behalf of a friend who found it yesterday, I think it is a token, on one side it has the initials T and B, and on the reverse a shield any help would be great  Smiley

Interesting find. Looks more like a foreign coin than a token but I could be wrong, I usually am. Undecided

I believe this is a seventeenth century token issued by Thomas Boulton of Haverfordwest.

Can't find an image at the moment.

Only thing I can find on line about Thomas Boulton is that there were only 4 Haverfordwest tokens known and one of them was his.    Like Doc, no pics.
So could be worth reporting.  Nice find.
