Description: | A Post Medieval to early Modern complete cast unifaced circular lead alloy token, dating to 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 4 on it. It is 20.13mm in diameter, 2.75mm thick and weighs 3.8 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 suggests that this token dated to the latter half of this range.
