Description: | A corroded Post Medieval uni-face circular cast lead alloy token. Powell Type 2. One face of the token is decorated with the raised capitalised initials WL. Beneath the initials there are three pellets in a line and above there is a single pellet. Lead and its alloys are very easy to work, and locally produced tokens were fashioned into a myriad of different designs many of which had considerable longevity. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those with initials are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD.
