Description: | Cast lead circular uni-faced token. The token has a raised design of a long equal armed cross with one pellet in each corner on one side, the other side is blank. It is 20.1 mm in diameter, 2.7 mm thick and weighs 6.44 grams.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely. While cross and pellet designs were traditionally thought to copy Medieval coinage and therefore be mostly Medieval in date, publication of moulds that combine Post Medieval designs (initials) with cross and pellet designs (Kerridge and de Ruiter 2009: 229) suggest they continued in use into the Post Medieval period and this example could date from 1250-1850 AD.
