Description: | Probable Post Medieval cast lead uniface token. The token carries a design consisting of a cross with a lines above a pellet in the centre. The reverse is undecorated. The surface is a shiny cream/grey coloured patina. The token measures 17.62mm diameter, 2.45mm thick and weighs 4.4g.Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those carrying initials are generally deemed to be Post Medieval in date (1500-1850 AD), those which seem to mimic Medieval penny designs are deemed to be Medieval, the remainder which carry stylised designs remain difficult to date but the majority are probably Post Medieval in date c.1500-1800.This token has been dated broadly as probably Post Medieval c.1500-1800.
