Description: | Cast lead circular unifaced token. The obverse of the token has a raised design of the letters B and I surrounded by a line border and interspersed with pellets, one each between the letters and at top and bottom, and two pellets on the righthand side. Another two pellets may have existed on the lefthand side where a chip has removed c.5% of the flan. The reverse is blank. The token is 20.6mm in diameter, 2.6mm thick and weighs 5.99 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with intials are generally Post Medieval in date (1500-1850 AD).
