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 small circular token has a larger, irregular base, probably caused by overfilling an open topped mould. The raised circular section is 16.2mm in diameter. The entire piece is 19.7mm long, 17.4mm wide and 5.6mm thick; it weighs 11.76 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.
