Description: | A cast lead alloy Medieval or Post Medieval token, probably uniface, in poor condition, c. 1200-1800 AD. Probably Powell Type 30. The token is flat and generally oval in shape. It seems to have been decorated with only a simplistic raised line running through the centre on one side and perhaps a pellet. The other face has three incised lines on the surface, but this seems to be due to damage, not purposeful decoration. It measures 27.45 mm long, 23.06 mm wide, 3.03 mm thick and weighs 10.73 grams.Lead tokens were locally manufactured and easily distributed; as such, they are difficult to date specifically outside of a secure archaeological context. Tokens with simplistic designs, without initials, are attributed to both the Medieval and Post Medieval periods.
