Description: | Cast lead alloy uniface token. It is circular and flat with a raised design of an equal armed cross with pellets in each quarter on one side; the pellets are indistinct but there are probably three per quarter. Lead tokens had a wide range of uses and were easily made at home; they can therefore be hard to date precisely. Those with cross and pellet design are thought to copy, and be contemporary with, medieval coins and date to c.1250-1500 AD. It is 18.4mm in diameter, 2.4mm thick and weighs 4.8 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
