Description: | A Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface circular token. Powell Type 34: 'Halved geometrics'. The token has a raised design of a circle with a central dividing line running across the diameter of the token; the reverse is blank. It measures 19.3 mm in diameter, 2.7 mm thick and weighs 4.81 grams. Lead tokens with such simple designs had a wide variety of uses. They were often made locally and are difficult to date precisely; therefore a general date of c. 1250-1800 AD is suggested. An almost identical example has been found within close proximity to this one; Cf. PAS database record: SUSS-ECBCE2.
