Description: | A Post Medieval to early Modern complete cast lead alloy circular token, dating from c. AD 1550-1850. Powell Types 2 and 8. The obverse of the token has the letter M stamped above the number 3 on it and the reverse is blank. It is 17.49mm in diameter, 2.03mm thick and weighs 3.9 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. The style of the stamp used to decorate the token suggests that this example dates from the latter part of this date range and could likely be early Modern in date.
