Description: | An incomplete lead ?alloy token probably dating from the post-medieval period. Mass: 4.5g. Diameter: 20.6mm. The token is unifacial, with HT in relief on the obverse and a blank and broadly flat reverse. The token has a grey/off-white surface. The token is incomplete, the loss of material does not appear to be recent.In: "Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition", Egan discusses tokens excavated in London from contexts dated to c1450-c1700. He notes that there appears to be an emphasis on unifacial token issues amongst those which appear to be latest within the period under consideration. These required only one mould part with a design. The token recorded here is broadly similar to item 933 included in "Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition" (ibid. p171 and fig 165). Token 933 is from a context with ceramics dated to c.1675-c.1700. The token recorded here is also likely to date from the post-medieval period.
