Description: | Late medieval to post medieval cast bifaced lead-alloy circular token of Powell Classes 2 and 12. It is decorated on one side with a raised equal armed cross with the quarters filled with multiple concentric right angled lines. Designs of this type are often thought to copy millstones. On the other side are the initials in capitals IM with an unclear design, possibly a date, below, all within a plain line border.pLead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely although those with initials are usual thought to be Post Medieval in date, c. AD 1500-1800.
