Ancient, British and World Coins and Historical Medals

Warwickshire, Birmingham, J. Mappin, Surgical and Deformity Instrument Maker, unofficial brass Farthing (Bell 43). Almost very fine, pierced for suspension, unrecorded by Batty and rare (£10-15)

An unusual occupation for the series; Bell notes one example only (in the R.P.N. Hawkins collection); a far rarer token than he suggests.
