Description: | A cast lead token (diameter: 27.1mm; thickness: 3.2mm; weight: 10.01g). A four-armed cross in a crude circle, plain on the reverse. This token probably dates frok month the Elizabethan period (1558-1603). A similar token is illustrated in Mitchiner & Skinner's 'English Tokens, c. 1425 to 1672' in the British Numismatic Journal, Volume 54, 1984, pages 138, 155 & plate 14, ref no 77. This similar example is described as an Elizabethan token and has an early 'stock-design' with simple geometric pattern. This example is further described as being thicker and generally less well executed eighteenth century tokens bearing this design, which are very common. A series of provincial tokens from East Anglia suggests that the design is derived from the reverse type of Medieval and later sterling silver coins. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1558
