Description: | A lead alloy late medieval or post-medieval lead token or tally. The token is bifacial; the obverse depicts a number of lines, possibly with an H within, although this is unclear, while the reverse bears the letter W above a worn shape, possibly of an animal. Lead tokens are found on agricultural land across the country, and suggestions for use include local trade tokens or gaming counters. This type of token is usually dated to the 16th through to 18th century AD. The token has been pierced although the purpose for this remains unclear.
