Description: | A Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface circular token. The token has a raised cross design, with a single raised pellet in each angle,possibly intended to imitate a Medieval long cross penny. The reverse is blank.Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval to Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). Until recently cross and pellet designs were thought to be contemporary with similar Medieval coin designs; however publication of moulds and double faced tokens which combine Post Medieval initial style designs with cross and pellets suggest they continued to be used throughout the Post Medieval period. The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth century, c. 1600-1700.
