These are believed to be 17th or 18th century lead advertising tokens. No doubt they would have circulated as local currency, probably valued at a penny. The I should most likely be read as a J, possibly standing for John Wilkinson (of cast-iron manufacture fame) or similar. The reverse carries a symbol akin to a formalised fleur-de-lis or a pair of scales. Three identical specimens were found close together alongside an old trade route in the Lune Valley here in Cumbria. One was gifted to Lancaster Museum.
Of interest is an observation I made whilst on a CVBG study day at Swarthmoor Hall, Ulverston, Cumbria. The house was the base of Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement, and the house played host to him. Within the house are many fine pieces of period furniture, one of which is a domed chest with the initials GF and dated 1675, on the front of which are two feur-de-lis, all done with metal studs and looking very much like the symbols used here, but with no animals. Check out my album on Swarthmoor Hall for comparison.
Very similar formalised fleur-de-lis appears in the range of 'stock designs' catalogued by Mitchiner Vol. 3 page 1816 and dated c.1674-1790.
While cleaning out an old desk, I ran across these old DQ Tokens. These were long before they had that tear-off strip on the bag. When I was in school, teachers used to give these out, for things like good grades, perfect attendance, & good behavior. Another throw-back of my youth.
All I had time to do. Had a very good day, as you can see.
