Description: | A lead alloy probable token probably from the post medieval period. The token is a disc which has a diameter of 13.9mm and is 2.7m thick. It has the same design on both sides which appears to be two squirrels facing each other (perhaps sitting at a table) with an acorn above. It is possible that this was a pictorial pub token, though these are not common, and are normally made from copper alloy (Tokens and Tallies 1850 ?? 1900 by Edward Fletcher). It is possible that this is a slightly earlier example, although it is very neatly made with some extremely fine lines. Another explanation is that it is a toy. There is some damage to one edge of the object which makes the design difficult to see clearly. The object has a yellowish patina and the damage does not seem to be recent. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
