Description: | A cast lead disc, possibly a token or counter. The object is oval in shape and extremely worn. Most lead tokens are decorated with crudely moulded motifs on one or both faces. On one face of this example are vestigal traces of a pellets, while the other side appears to be blank. The lack of distinguishing features makes this object difficult to date, and it may be of the Medival or Post Medieval period.The token is in poor condition-wear and corrosion have caused thinning of the metal, which is splitting at the edges, and some deformation has occurred, probably after burial. Many other examples of lead and lead alloy tokens can be seen on this database, for example NARC-0E8A71.
