My recent purchase an unknown Birmingham token:
I would be grateful if anyone could identify it. I can only see the word BIRMINGHAM but there's another word/s??

Hus, what's the diameter? Halfpenny size?

and Whitmore's "Token Collector's Companion," but alas, to no avail. Even Pye...useless!
One lead I would recommend trying is the Warwickshire Museum, which has some pretty extensive numismatic holdings.
The manager of that area (Archaeology and Numismatics) is Sara Wear, last I checked. Perhaps she could connect you
with a local B-ham expert. I've found museum staff to be most helpful, and generally pretty generous and gracious
about it, too, when they get tough attribution questions from me.
Keep us all posted, please!
Best to all ~
