Druid Token
from the Parys Mining Company i think its the 2nd edition of 1787

Penny token coin from the Angelsey Mines in North Wales.
Minted in Liverpool these coins were valid money for trade
for Welsh Miners in the late 18th century.
This coin is from the year 1787 and has a Druid's head
in flowing robes on the front and letters PMC,
on the reverse, which I believe
stands for the Parys Mining company
