Description: | Post medieval cast lead alloy uniface token. The token is circular and flat; on the front are raised initials, probably HP ligated. The back is plain. There is a hole near one edge and dent in one edge; both are probably casting flaws. It is 21.1mm in diameter and 1.3mm thick, it weighs 3.36 grams.
Cast lead tokens had a wide range of uses and were often produced locally. They are thus hard to date accurately but those with intials are generally Post Medieval (1500-1800 AD). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
