Description: | Cast lead circular unifaced token about 40% of which is missing due to an old break. The obverse of the token has a raised line border a little way in from the edge with regularly spaced radiating lines running from the line to the edge. The central area has a letter T in the bottom left hand corner with pellets surrounding the letter, there was possibly another letter on the right, lost to the break. There are traces of an unclear raised design on the reverse. The token is 27.8mm in diameter, 3.8mm thick and weighs 9.88 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).
