Description: | A worn and slightly corroded lead-alloy token of probable Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1250-1800). Powell Type 30. It is decorated on one side with a long cross with four further lines at each corner, creating an eight pointed star. In each segment is situated a single pellet, although due to circumferential wear only five remain. On the other side are a series of 13 pellets which form an unclear motif. The token has a very 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 examples with simple designs could be Medieval to late Post Medieval in date (c. AD 1250-1800).
