I love this sort of thing which brings to life the world that they must have lived in. Thank you.

The website says that it “is of the early 1660s and advertises the various commodities on offer to its patrons. As stated in the central field of the token these included “Coffee, Chocolat, Tea, Sherbett & Tobac sould in Exchange Alley”.”
