EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a British 17th Century Token, dating back to the year 1652. Crafted from a copper-based alloy, this small yet significant artifact measures just 1.6x1.6 cm in size. Currently housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford in the UK, it is an invaluable piece of history. Tokens like these were commonly used as currency during this era and hold great significance in the field of numismatics. The intricate design and craftsmanship on this token reflect the artistry prevalent during the British School's reign in the 17th century. The image captures every minute detail of this historic token, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close. Its rich patina and delicate engravings tell tales of England's past economic systems and trade practices. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when tokens such as these played a vital role in daily transactions. They served not only as a means of exchange but also represented social status and identity. Thanks to Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, we have access to stunning visual representations like this one that allow us to explore history through art. This print serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant objects can carry immense historical value and provide valuable insights into our cultural heritage
