Farthing token 1658 of John Crouch

Above showing both side of the farthing token stamped IOHN CROVCH 1658 around a Wheatsheaf, and on the reverse IN DEPTFORD around the letters C over I A.

 

Possibly but not necessarily an Inn but could have been the tokens used for another tradesman's shop, a lot of these were used for a Grocer's trade in the period. The Wheatsheaf seems to suggest wither an Inn or a Corn Merchant.

The Arms shown could just be a Guild Crest and not Arms as is public house, as these tokens were popular for both types of establishments during the mid 17th century, and were used to pay for goods in the premises named.
