Description: | A Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface circular probably token The design consists of a raised cross design, with a raised pellet in each angle. Such designs are sometimes suggested to be imitations of Medieval long cross pennies. The reverse is blank.Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval to Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). Cross and pellet designs were originally thought to be contemporary with similar Medieval coin designs; however publication of moulds and double faced tokens which combine Post Medieval initial style designs with cross and pellets suggest they continued to be used throughout the Post Medieval period. The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, c. 1600-1800 as increasing numbers of dated tokens are found.
