Description: | Cast lead circular double sided token. The token has a raised design of the capital letters MW on one side with a rough,damaged, area in the lower right corner which may obscure some more of the design. The reverse has two raised vertical lines, possibly part of an I, N or even an M as on the obverse. It is 17.1mm in diameter, 1.7mm thick and weighs 2.80 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are thought to date to c.1500-1850 AD. Double sided examples are rare than uniface examples and must have been cast in a two piece rather than open topped mould.
