Description: | Complete cast lead alloy circular token with a raised cross design with a pellet in each angle on one face and either a raised cross or letter T surmounted by a pellet on the other face. Lead tokens are difficult to date and although some tokens with cross designs are thought to be imitations of Medieval coins some of these do carry lettering on the other side which is evidently from the post Medieval era. as it is not possible to be certain that there is lettering on this coin it is not possibly to discount it as Medieval entirely. In light of this, and due to the ease of manufacture of these tokens during all periods, this token is dated broadly as c.1300-1800.
