Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy incomplete circular double sided token of unclear design. The token has raised designs of lines on both sides, one may be a stylised fluer de lis but the details are unclear. About a quarter of the token is missing. This seems to be a casting flaw from incomplete filling of the mould. To one side is the end of a casting sprue from where the lead was run into the mould . It is 21.5mm in diameter, 1.4mm thick and weighs 2.08 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.AD 1250-1850..
