17th century token coin

I have a small copper like coin dated 1658, which I believe is a token merchant/tradesman coin. It's in good condition with the name Isack Williams on it and I think the place is Sherborne actually spelt Sherborw or Sherborvv. Initials I.W. are on one side and what looks like a very simple crown or even a pestle& mortar picture on the otherside. Has anyone any ideas on how I can trace the origin of this coin?

With any luck someone here will point you in the right direction. I don't have books or knowledge covering that area.
