Description: | A complete cast lead alloy token, dating from the 15th-17th century AD (diameter: 20mm; thickness: 1.1mm; weight: 2.94g). The token is decorated on both sides with a portcullis on one side, where the points at the bottom end in arrows. There is scrolled and 'frilled' decoration surrounding the border as well as a raised border around the outside edge. On the other side, there is an elaborate fleur de lys in the centre with the same outside decoration as the other side. The token is in a worn but fair condition. A similar example is illustrated in Mitchiner's 'English Tokens c. 1425 to 1672', plate 16, which dates to the 17th century AD. | 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: | 1400
