Description: | Cast lead alloy circular double faced token. The token has a raised design of a central motif, now illegible, surrounded by a double circular border with diagonal lines and pellets between the circles on one side. This is similar to designs seen on Medieval boy bishop tokens but the other side is not the typical groat reverse. On the other side is what might be a merchants make with back to back C's joined at the centre with a horizontal line and with a vertical arrow between them, to one side are the initials IK. It is 25.7mm in diameter, 6.69mm thick and weighs 6.59 grams. Lead tokens has a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely and could date from 1250-1850 AD.The second side with the possible merchants mark seems to be a local type, also found on SUSS-AD3FE1 and SUSS-9B13E3. SUSS-9B5644 also found locally has a design relating to a bishop.
