Description: | Late medieval to post medieval cast bifaced lead-alloy token of Powell Class 12. It is decorated on one side with a raised equal armed cross with each quarter filled with two concentric right angled lines. On the other side is a raised equal armed cross with four parallel diagonal lines, running roughly from the centre to the edge, filling each quarter. Designs of this type are often thought to copy millstones.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and examples with simple designs could be medieval to late post medieval in date (c. AD 1250-1800).
