Post-Medieval copper alloy trading token. The obverse shows a right-facing portrait wearing a double-arched crown. There does not appear to be a demarcated border between the portrait and the perimeter lettering, which is unclear but begins LXII(rest unclear). On the reverse side there is no perimeter lettering, but a beaded border on the very edge of the face. Centrally at the very top there is a small cross, underneath which reads LIA?/.??/.FR(a?)(n?)CE Underneath this lettering there are three fleur-de-lys motifs.
