Description: | A complete uni-faced lead alloy token, dating to Medieval or Post Medieval periods, c. 1550-1800 AD. Powell Type 2. One face of the token is decorated with what seems to be either letters '96' or '69' or initials '(retrograde)D G'; the other face is undecorated and the token has been bent slightly in half. The token is dark grey in colour. It measures 17.8 mm in diameter, 2 mm thick and weighs 3.95 grams. Lead tokens were relatively easy to make and widely circulated, there are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those with letters or numbers, such as this one, are generally dated to the Post Medieval period of c. 1550-1800 AD.
