Description: | A complete cast lead alloy token, dating from the 15th-17th century AD (diameter: 19.1mm; thickness: 2.2mm; weight: 6.11g). This artefact is only decorated on one side with a very crude face staged left, with a bold outline for the head, an oval raised platform for the eye and slightly pointed nose. There seems to be some sort of decoration around the outside of the head, but it is too worn to identify. The token is worn and in a fair condition.Similar examples are illustrated in Mitchiner & Skinner's 'English Tokens, c. 1425 to 1672', in The British Numismatic Journal Volume 54, 1984, page 143, ref no 80 (dated as Late Plantagenet) & page 152, ref no 42 (dated as early Tudor period). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
