Description: | Post Medieval cast lead-alloy circular double-faced hop token (1700-1850 AD). On one side are the raised initials SD (or possibly JS). The other side has XII. The token measures 18.5mm in diameter, 2.0mm thick and weighs 4.39 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; those with 6, 12 and 24 on were used in Sussex and Kent to keep track of the amount of hops pickers had collected and often traded locally as a currency which could be redeemed with the farmer at the end of the season.
