Description: | Post Medieval or modern cast lead alloy circular bi-faced token (1500-1900 AD). On one side is the raised initials I A, on the reverse is an initial P above 12. The token measures 23.19mm in diameter, 2.8mm thick and weighs 4.8 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with numerial values in multipes of 6 (6, 12 and 24) are known to have been used on hop farms to keep track of quantities picked and were cashed for payment at the end of the job.
