Description: | A worn and corroded Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface token. Powell Type 2. The token is sub-circular in plan and on the front face are the raised initials 'HN', with a raised dot in the middle. Beneath the initils is a raised horizontal line above three raised dots. The reverse side is plain. The token measures 22.83mm diameter, 1.61mm thick and weighs 5.57 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely. Those with initials are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1550-1800 AD.
