Description: | A corroded, worn and clipped lead-alloy token of probable Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1250-1800). It is decorated on one side with a central circle above which a series of lines extend, possibly to form a crown. The other side features two parallel lines with outward curving ends that might represent a stylised initial or unclear motif. The token has a moderately thin body with a light grey-white patina.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval to late Post Medieval in date (c. AD 1250-1800). Those with initials are generally given a date of c. 1550-1800, however as it is uncertain whether this token contains an initial, the date remains general.
