Re scalloped edge: Took Heron almost 24 hours to remember where he had stored a scalloped
edge token. Finally remembered the Costa Rica coffee plantation token 'box'. Here is
some information on this scalloped edge token:
The token measures 27mm from outer edge to outer edge of scallops.
(Perhaps they are called 'lobes'? Something Heron does NOT know.)
There are 12 identical scallops. (Perhaps they can be called 'scallops'?)
The token planchet is copper.
There is a small hole at center of 3mm dia. It appears to have been added after planchet
was manufactured.
On one side: F.
U. C. (both the U and the C are lying on 'sides')
Bean (An oval with line through it lengthwise which could represent
a coffee bean. Most likely a coffee bean because this token
was purchased in a batch of Costa Rica coffee tokens).
On 2nd side: Triangle with: 1
__
That is the only readable part of this side of token. What it means Heron knows not.
Heron has never been able to find anyone that can ID this token.
All the letters and triangle are counter-punched.
Anyone having any information about this please share.
