Description: | Cast lead circular uni-faced token. The token design has an outer circle with a long cross and central pellet set within it, possibly a wheel, the other side is blank. The periphery of the token tapers to a thinner edge and there is a small tag projecting from the circumference suggesting the remains of a casting sprue. It is 16mm in diameter, 1.7 mm thick and weighs 2.62 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).
