Description: | A complete cast copper alloy Medieval or Post Medieval circular uniface token. Probably Powell Type 22. One side is decorated with three criss-crossing lines, intersecting at a central pellet and creating six points. It is possible that this is meant to suggest a mill wheel or cartwheel and that in the case of it representing a mill wheel the external paddles aren't visible due to wear. The other side is plain. The token has a diameter of 18.37mm, 3.14 mm thick and weighs 6.7gms.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; therefore they are difficult to date precisely and those with simple designs are given a general date of c. 1250-1800.
