Description: | A circular lead uniface token of probable medieval date. The token is decorated on one side with a cross with triangular wedge shaped arms, each with a raised pellet in, and with a raised pellet between each arm. There are possible traces of a design on the reverse, although whether this is a deliberate design is uncertain and if the design was deliberate it is now very worn. The lack of wear on the front suggests that the object generally is not very worn. Such tokens may have been used as localised small change, as gaming pieces, and a religious significance should not be discounted in this case given the cross design. The token measures 27.4 mm in diameter, 2.7 mm thick and weighs 10.8 grams. It has a grey patina.
