Description: | An incomplete lead alloy Post-medieval token, dating from the c.17th century and possibly used as agricultural or merchant tallies/tokens or as small change. This token has patterning on both sides - one side has the initials ?I W, with a horizontal ine and pellets beneath, while the other side has a grid with central annulet. No direct comparison could be found in Powell's typology, nor in Fletcher's 2005 book. Lead tokens, as well as copper tokens, were very popular during this period and through into the 18th century, but where copper tokens are easily attributed to individual people, trades or places, lead tokens are more enigmatic.
