Description: | Uni-faced cast lead token or possible bag seal of probable late medieval or post-medieval date (1250-1800). The upper face is decorated with a raised circular boss on which is a cast vertical cross contained within a raised circular band. In each angle of the cross is a single raised pellet. It is possible that outside the area defined by the central boss - further pellets or even inscription is positioned; however this has been abraded and is not well preserved. The reverse face is plain and undecorated. It is impossible to tell whether this was originally a bag seal as the edges are abraded. The token is much thicker than the average seen from this area.The token measures 20.5mm diameter is 3.2mm thick and weighs 3.43 grams.
