Description: | Fragment of a double sided cast lead token. The token measures 19.71mm in diameter and 2.08mm thick. It weighs 1.7grams. One side is decorated with a wheel design with inside a circular line border, the wheel has a circle indicating the rim, four spokes and a pellet hub; the other side has two initials divided by a pellet, the first initial is lost but the second is B. Cast lead tokens were simple to make and are therefore difficult to date precisely; generally those with initials are though to date to the post medieval period and a general date of c.1500-1800 AD is given.This token is similar to SUSS-003BC1 found in a nearby parish and also to the uniface token SUSS-D0B933 and they may have been issued by the same person.
