Description: | An incomplete Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular double faced token dated 1622 AD. There is an irregular break across the token and approximately 50% of the flan is missing. The token shows evidence of design on both faces. On one side what looks like the lower part of the body and legs of an animal or perhaps a basket or furniture design can be seen. On the other is a patterned border with a line across the face which divides the token in half. On one side of this line there appear to be the start of some initials and on the other the date 1622. The token is 19.5mm in diameter, 2.0mm thick and weighs 3.1 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, however this particular example appears to have a greater intricacy than the majority of cruder examples found.
