Description: | A uniface cast silver / white metal alloy token of probable late medieval / post-medieval date (1400 - 1650). The design on the upper face consists of a central square shaped pellet around which are four evenly spaced pellets form a cross- like shape. These pellets are contained by a raised circular ridge at the edge of the token. This ridge has four triangular wedges within it and these are aligned with the pellets in the cross. The reverse of the token is plain apart from a raised triangular ridge/ wedge on one edge. This is most likely to be past of the casting material. The use of a silver alloy is unusual in this type of token; the majority are usually made from lead alloy. The token is sub-circular in plan and measures 19.4mm diameter is 3.3mm thick, and weighs 3.6 grams.
