Description: | Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead-alloy circular unifaced token of Powell type 14 (c. AD 1250-1800). The token has a raised design of an equal armed cross on the obverse and a plain reverse. There is a patinated break to one side. It measures 20.1 mm in diameter, 3.2mm thick and weighs 5.04 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date. Until recently cross and pellet designs were thought to be contemporary with the similar Medieval coin designs; however publication of moulds and double faced tokens which combine Post Medieval initial style designs with cross and pellets suggest they continued into the Post Medieval period.
