Title
COIN
Description
English:

A coin of post medieval date.

Obverse:

Traces of a portrait in the form of a possible hood.

No other details are discernable and the legend is illegible due to ware.

Reverse:

Small traces of decoration that are non-discernable due to the ware of the coin.

The finder has suggested the coin is a druid token. Druid tokens in penny and halfpenny denominations, originated from the Parys Mining Company, Anglesey.

While the portrait on this particular coin has similarities with druid tokens, and appears to represent a hood, it is not possible to say for certain if this coin is a druid token.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Isle of Anglesey
