Trade tokens of the 17th century give us some of the most valuable information relating to long lost Londoners not often learned about outside specialist fields of history.

 

In this talk, Mudlark Sean Clark takes us on an exciting journey through 17th century London via trade tokens discovered whilst mudlarking on the foreshore in London.

 

Following a brief history of small value coins and tokens through the ages, including the use of copper coins leading up to trade tokens of the seventeenth century, Sean will guide us through his research and the individual stories of trade token issuers who lived and traded during one of the most turbulent times in our history.
