Description: | A complete lead alloy uni-faced token, dating to the Post Medieval period. Powell Type 2. This particular token has been bent and cut, which makes identification difficult. It has what appears to be the raised design of the capital letter T with a triangular casting spur to the left and two parallel lines to the right to let the lead flow out when it was cast. The reverse is plain. The token measures 21.33 mm in diameter, 2.08mm thick and weighs 5.9 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with letters or initials are usually Post Medieval in date, from c. 1550-1800 AD.
