Description: | A Post Medieval cast lead alloy bi-faced token, dating to c. 1500-1850 AD. Due to the wear on both surfaces of the token, it is difficult to determine what is depicted and hence, a positive identification of Powell Type is unlikely. This token seems to have a raised initial 'H' or possibly a number '11' on one face and a curvilinear raised decoration on the other. It measures 17.3 mm in diameter, 2.3 mm thick, and weighs 3.28 grams.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with initials and this type of decoration are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD.
