Description: | An complete lead alloy uni-faced token, dating to the medieval to Post Medieval period. This particular token has been torn and bent, which makes potential identification of the obverse design difficult. It is possible that the raised design on the obverse is either the letter M over the letter O or posibly two cross swords , but this cannot be confirmed postively. The reverse is plain. The token measures 31.86 mm in diameter, 2.33mm thick and weighs 12.8 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with depiction and letters range in date from c. 1250-1850 AD.
