Description: | A complete Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy sub-circular uniface token of Powell Type 14. The token is decorated on one face with a raised cross and a pellet in each quarter design; the other face is undecorated. The token measures 17.05 mm diameter and is 2.30 mm thick and weighs 4.43grams.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 simple cross-and-pellet designs were thought to imitate Medieval long cross coinage but had considerable longevity and could date from c. 1250-1800 AD.
