Description: | A Post Medieval to early Modern complete cast bifaced circular lead alloy token, dating from c. AD 1550-1850. Powell Types 2 and 8. The token is decorated on the obverse side with the initials HO; the reverse side has the number 50 on it. It is 31.37mm in diameter, 2.83mm thick and weighs 9.2 grams.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date (1550-1800 AD). The style of lettering and stamping on this example suggests that it dates to the latter half of this period. Two similar tokens were discovered in this area and recorded onto the PAS database as records: PUBLIC-09CEB1 and PUBLIC-09DE82 .
