Description: | Uni-faced cast lead token of probable later medieval or post-medieval date (1300-1800). The token is broadly circular in plan. The upper face of the token is decorated with a cast design which is relatively crude. It consists of a large central knop or boss around which are three concentric raised bands. Four similar pellets are positioned on the middle band at cardinal points (forming a vertical cross). Within the inner circle are two cast initials, a W above the pellet and an M (or inverted W) below. Within the second circle are a series of diagonal lines, possibly decoration, whilst the outer circle is plain and undecorated. The reverse is also plain and flat. From the size of the token it is possible it could be a small weight, especially as it weighs exactly one ounceThe token measures 37.3mm diameter is 4.2mm thick, and weighs 28.56 grams (1.006ozs).
