Description: | A complete cast lead alloy Medieval or Post Medieval circular uniface token, c. 1250-1800 AD. Powell type 7. One side has a raised chequer or grid pattern with a pellet in the centre; the other side is plain. The token is larger than average and has slight damage to its rim, including what looks like a possible crude suspension loop added to the plain reverse face. Suspension loops are unusual for tokens from this period, so perhaps this allowed the token to be fixed to a particular object, similar to a cloth seal. It has a diameter of 22.62mm, 3.63 mm thick and weighs 7.2gms. Lead tokens are difficult to date exactly as they had a wide variety of uses and were often made locally; examples with simple designs such as this one could potentially date from c. 1250-c. 1800 AD.
