Description: | A lead-alloy token. It is probably intended to be circular, but actually measures 21.5mm by 20.1mm and is 4.1mm thick. It weighs 9.63gm. There is a design on both faces but its interpretation is not clear. It is basically six radiating lines, but they meet at one side rather than in the middle, and they do not all spring from one place. In the largest angle is an extra curved line. Little is know about the precise date and function of these tokens. A late medieval or post medieval date seems most likely. See "Leaden Tokens and Tallies" by Edward Fletcher for more information.
