| Obverse description | Obverse field heavily worn, with design elements largely obscured by corrosion and surface degradation typical of circulated seventeenth-century copper trade tokens. The surrounding legend reads PAVL · IAMES · MEALEMAN HIS HALF PENY, identifying the issuer as Paul James, a mealman (flour or grain merchant). The inscription is rendered in Latin-script capital letters disposed around the coin's periphery. The central device, consistent with trade tokens of this period, likely depicts a trade emblem or merchant's mark, though it is not clearly legible on this example. |
