Description: | Cast lead-alloy plaque or token, probably dating from the later medieval or post-medieval period, i.e. c. 1500-1800. The token or plaque is only decorated on the obverse: it depicts circles and what looks like Roman numerals around the outer edge; however, if they are numerals or writing, they are very difficult to read. It is more likely that it is a non-sensical inscription similar to those sometimes found on purse frames or brooches. Furthermore, the token was perforated for suspension. Lead tokens/plaques like these are frequently found by metal-detectorists and notoriously difficult to date or relate to a specific purpose. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
