Description: | A cast lead token of the Medieval period.
The obverse is quite worn, but a shield can be seen, though the device on the shield is too worn to be identified. There is also a possible inscription around the outside perimeter of the token, but this is also too worn for identification.
The reverse has a longcross with 3 pellets in each quarter. Again, there is the possibility of an inscription, but it is too worn to determine.
On the basis of a parallel with official coins bearing the longcross reverse, the token probably dates between the reigns of Henry III and Henry VII. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
