Description: | A circular lead alloy uni-face token, dating to the Post Medieval period (c. 1500-1850). This token is decorated with slightly cryptic numerals or intials, possible the intials 'BT' in retrograde. Otherwise, this may be a figural depiction, although this is unclear. Possibly Powell Type 2 or 8. It measures 19.47 mm in diameter, 2.12 mm thick, and weighs 3.35 grams.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with initials are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD.
