Description: | Post Medieval two part cloth seal of unclear authority / issuer. The back disk had a central projection on the inner side which fitted through the hole in the centre of the front disk and was stamped flat to hold them together. The front is stamped with either 95 of 56 over or under other unclear symbols all within a pellet border. On the back is a faint, unclear design, possibly a shield. It is 23.5mm by 21.5mm and 1.3mm thick; it weighs 5.55 grams.Although the design is mostly illegible it seems similar in form to local town seals of the 16th and 17th century although other types cannot be ruled out.
