Description: | Cast uniface lead alloy token. On the obverse there are large letters R.(E)N, the E might be an H or an L or some combination of letters, these are joined to the N by a diagonal line from top left to bottom right. There is a dot above and below the letters in the center of the token. The reverse is blank. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses as small change and ways to track debts and piecework for example. They were often made locally so are hard to date precisely but those with initials are usually Post Medieval in date, 1600-1850 AD.
It is 22.15mm in diameter, 2.0mm thick and weighs 6.69 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
