Description: | A complete cast lead alloy circular uni-faced token, dating to either the Medieval or Post Medieval periods (c. 1250-1850 AD). The token is crudely decorated with a central raised motif that is difficult to resolve but could be something like a woolsack surrounded by a number of pellets or a horse and rider. The opposite face is blank. It measures 15.25 mm in diameter, 2.53mm average thickness, and weighs 2.85 grams.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely.
