Description: | Cast lead circular unifaced token. The token has a raised design of capital letters I.I divided by a pellet on one side, the other side is blank. It has the remains of casting sprues to either side, the sprues are twisted suggesting it was removed from a run of tokens by twisting and snapping. It is 20.1mm in diameter, 24.9mm across including the sprues, 2.7mm thick and weighs 4.89 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 be Post Medieval in date (1500-1850 AD).
