Description: | A complete struck lead alloy Medieval or Post Medieval uniface token, c. 1250-1800 AD. Powell Type 19. The decorated face of the token depicts a horned animal, probably a deer or goat. The reverse has an incised line, which could potentially be a purposefully incised initial, making this token bifaced and probably dating to the Post Medieval period; however, it is uncertain whether this is damage or purposeful decoration. The token measures 20.73 mm diameter, 2.75 mm thick and weighs 7.04 grams.Lead alloy tokens were simple to produce and were often manufactured locally during a large period; for these reasons they are difficult to date specifically.
