Description: | Uniface cast lead alloy circular token. The token has a raised design of an equal armed cross with a pellet in each quarter. The sides are bevelled giving a top smaller than the base. The base is flat with a large oval blob of lead alloy attached to it and extending to one side, presumably due to miscasting. It is 21.6mm in diameter/width, 25.4mm long and 8.3mm thick including the miscast; it weighs 21.52 grams.lead tokens were simple to make and often produced locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with cross and pellet designs are thought to copy medieval coins and date to the mid 13th-15th centurys.
