Description: | A lead alloy token with images on both faces. One face has a square in the centre, with diagonal lines running from corner to corner through a central pellet. There are multiple lines totally surrounding the square that are perpendicular to its sides. The other face has what may be a crude attempt at a fleur-de-lys design, again surrounded on all sides by perpendicular lines. This latter design is similar to one on a possible merchant's token dating from the 15th century. Although there are many tokens that attempt to depict a fleur-de-lys, this specific example could not be found but this is not unusual as tokens would have been locally made by people with varying skills. It is likely that this is a merchant's token dating from the 15th century.
