Description: | Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular double faced token (1500-1850 AD). On one side is a raised K within a circle of pellets; the reverse has the raised initial I with scattered pellets. The edge has multiple indents but it is not clear if this is from casting flaws or later damage. The token measures 21.5mm in diameter, 1.4mm thick and weighs 3.77grams. 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).
