Description: | Cast lead circular unifaced token. The obverse of the token has nine raised pellets with eight roughly arranged in a circle around the central one. The reverse is blank. It has the remains of two casting sprues at one side and at the other what is probably the jet from the top of the mould. This suggests it was cast in a two part mould. It is 20.6mm in diameter, 2.6mm thick and weighs 7.90 grams. The jet is 10.2mm wide by 5.1mm thick by 5.1mm long. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely and this example could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date 1250-1850 AD.
