COMMUNION TOKENS OF SOUTH-EASTERN BORDER 129 



TOKENS OF UNCERTAIN ORIGIN. 



The token here exhibited was sent to me as 

 belonging to the Parish of Kelso. This may 

 be so, but there is no proof of it. It seems to 

 beloDg to the district, for its last resting place 

 was in the Parish of Bunkle, and there is more 

 likelihood of its belonging to Kelso than to any 

 ether of the few parishes on the Eastern Border 

 whose names begin with the same letter, partly 

 because Kelso lies nearer to Bunkle than any of the others, and 

 partly because Kelso possesses no other old token. It may be 

 one of the 2000 tokens struck in Kelso in 1710, although its 

 appearance indicates greater age. Perhaps another specimen 

 may be extant somewhere. It' so, its locality might help to 

 remove the doubt. 



(2) Another uncertain token is here figured. It also came 

 from Bunkle, and it would appear to belong 



either to Coldstream or Coldingham, prob- 

 ably to the former, of which no old token 

 remains, whereas of Coldingham there are 

 at least three older than the 1798 token 

 which I have figured. Tokens were struck 

 in Coldstream about the middle of last century, and this may be 

 one of them. 



(3) The token figured as of Cockburnspath, in the Presbytery 

 of Dunbar, and county of Berwick, may not belong to that 

 parish. 



Note. — The writer of this paper would be glad to see speci- 

 uiens of any interesting tokens not here enumerated, with the 

 ~iv3w ")f issuing -i supplementary Plato at a future time.
