Description: | Cast lead alloy circular double sided token. The token has a raised design of the letters ME within a border of raised pellets on one side (it maybe the letters were supposed to be EW but were accidentaly written the wrong way round for casting); the other side has a design of a six petalled flower with triangles between each petal within a circular border. It is 27.1mm in diameter, 3.6mm thick and weighs 12.78 grams. Lead tokens has a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely although examples with initials are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date c.1500-1850 AD.
