Description: | A complete cast circular unifaced lead alloy token, dating to the Post Medieval period. The obverse of the token is decorated with the raised initals 'CS' the 'S' in retrograde (backwards) in the centre with a pellet between. The reverse is blank. The token measures 16.01mm in diameter, 2.23mm thick and weighs 3.6 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 thought to be Post Medieval in date (1550-1800 AD).
