Pigpen cipher on Mark Master Masons token
The pigpen cipher is fun because is it generally easy to understand, yet has several variations. Here are a couple I haven't seen deciphered on the internet, so I challenged myself to solve them.
Masons have these "pennies" or tokens that they give to candidates, some of which have ciphers on them.
The exact key to this particular cipher isn't reproduced much on the internet, but I finally found it:
The solution is: JOPPA- KEBRAOTH MARK.WELL
I gather from one of the very few Google results for JOPPA KEBRAOTH that these are some kind of freemason passwords.
Here is another one:
This one uses a different key, similar to a normal version, but backwards. I couldn't find an existing image, so I assembled this:
The solution is: THE MARK PROVINCE OF EAST LANCASHIRE
