Description: | Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular unifaced token (1250-1850 AD). The raised design on the obverse is of a flower with multiple pointed oval petals radiating from a central point within a circular line border. It has a irregular raised rim on the back, probably the result of being cast face down in an open mould. The token measures 19.04mm in diameter, 3.57mm thick and weighs 7.6 grams. 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).
