Description: | A complete cast lead alloy circular token, dating to the Post Medieval period. One face of the token is stamped with the letters 'GC' and the other face has a stamped number 2. It measures 18.18mm in diameter, 2.18mm thick and weighs 4.7 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely but those with initials are thought to be Post Medieval, c. 1550-1800 AD. Furthermore, the style of lettering suggests that this token is likely to date to the Post Medieval or perhaps early Modern period. The surface of the token has been bent and creased in various places.
