Description: | A lead alloy token. The token appears to have been manufactured by cutting a rough circle from a cast sheet of metal, and is decorated with a crudely inscribed long cross and border on one face, and a long cross on the other face. This may be intended to imitate long cross coinage, introduced in the 13th Century and in use into the 15th Century, although caution must be exercised when inferring a date; stylised crosses were struck onto coins from earlier and later periods.The token is rather worn and deformed, probably as a result of burial. From the phoptograph, it appears to have been roughly pierced, though this is not described on the rally record.
