[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 833649, member: 23874"]A few more thoughts... My gut leans me to believe that this is some kind of communion or church token, and medieval, perhaps earlier than the 17th century. I don't necessarily think that it has to depict Saint Patrick, but rather it may be Saint Paul or Saint Peter. (Just because it came from England, and proximity to Ireland, doesn't necessarily mean it has to be St. Patrick, or a Limerick Farthing.) Many coins/tokens [of the era] include[d] Roman numerals. Are you confident the reverse is "L...F"? I was looking at the reverse image last night, keying on the image's luminosity, coloring, brightness, and contrast, and thought I could almost make out a [I]slanted[/I] V after the L. When you traced the reverse, was the reverse "raised" in any way between the "L...F"?[/QUOTE]
