Description: | A complete cast lead token probably dating from the post-medieval period. Mass: 4.1g, diameter: 22.0mm, thickness: 2.0mm. The token is unifacial, with a raised cruciform design with three curve sided arms (?petals) and the fourth formed by three straight ribs. There are also raised pellets and sub-triangular features on the front, within a circle of adjoined triangles. The reverse is broadly flat and undecorated, although there is a ridge around the edge. The token has a variable brown coloured matt surface, which is darker in the more recessed areas.
In: ??Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition??, Egan discusses tokens excavated in London from contexts dated to c1450-c1700. He notes that there appears to be an emphasis on unifacial token issues amongst those which appear to be latest within the period under consideration. These required only one mould part with a design. The token recorded here is likely to date from the post-medieval period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
