Description: | A complete Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy sub-circular uniface token of Powell Type 3. The token is decorated on one face with a raised horizontal line, with another line oriented perpendicular to the first, with a central raised pellet; the other face is undecorated. The token measures 23.45mm in diameter and 4.10 mm thick and weighs 10.32 grams.Tokens had a wide variety of uses and were easy to manufacture; they are therefore difficult to date specifically outside of secure archaeological contexts. Tokens with simplistic designs had considerable longevity and could date from c. 1250-1800 AD. It is possible that the decoration on this token was meant to be an initial 'T', in which case this token probably dates to the Post Medieva period.
