Description: | Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular double sided token of Powell type 2 / 4. The token has a raised design of a stylised fleur de lis on one side represented by a straight line, flanked by curved lines like back to back C's all joined by a horizontal line. On the other side are the raised retrograde initials CG. It is 22.6mm in diameter, 2.0mm thick and weighs 5.41 grams.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. They were in common use from c.1250-1850 but those with initials are usually Post Medieval in date.
