Description: | A complete Medieval to Post Medieval unifaced cast lead token. Powell Type 14. The token is decorated on one face with a long cross and a pellet in each quarter; the other face is undecorated. It measures 16.60 mm in diameter and 1.80 mm thick and weighs 2.45 grams.Lead tokens were easy to produce and widely circulated; examples with long cross and pellet designs were originally meant to emulate Medieval long cross pennies, however they continued in use throughout both the Medieval and Post Medieval period. Therefore, a general date of c. 1250-1800 AD is suggested for this type.
