Explanation
All descriptions are abbreviated from Milne's work.
I have simply listed the main words on the legend
which should identify the piece.
PRES.. = I have removed words and/or letters
PRES' = "
B'Y.. = Bally.. eg B'YCARRY is Ballycarry
C'.. = Castle.. eg C'DERG is Castlederg
N'.. = Newtown.. eg N'STEWART is Newtownstewart
ob = oblong
ov = oval
ser = serrated (border)
mon = monogram
sq = square
r = round
-r = rounded or cut corners
'..' = indicates character(s) in retrograde
"|" = line separation,
"/" = obverse/reverse
*123 &c = illustration in Milne
All other abbreviations should be obvious.
Churches which used stock tokens or are known not to
have used tokens, have been removed to save space.
A blank indicates it is uncertain whether they used tokens or not.
All dimensions have been converted from 1/16" to mm.
