(TR 3451) Post medieval coins, tokens and jettons found during a metal detecting rally held on 11th and 12th September in Great Mongham near Deal. One sixteenth century coin was found. The majority of 17th century coins were copper farthings. Only three later coins were considered to be worth recording, these being a Dutch coin of 1670, a half-sovereign of Victoria dated 1842 and a Victorian sovereign dated 1900.

These covered a lengthy time span from the 14th to the 17th Century. Perhaps the most unusual jetton was a possible French issue showing a similar design on both sides.
