Description: | A complete cast unifaced circular lead alloy token. Powell Type 2. The token is decorated on the obverse with the initials T and L separated by a central piercing, with a horizontal line below. The piercing is unusual for tokens of this type and seems to have been pierced from the obverse face through to the reverse, perhaps for the purpose of keeping many tokens together. The reverse is blank. The token is 21.1mm in diameter, 1.2mm thick and weighs 3.5grams. Lead tokens with simple designs are very easy to make and continued in use for a long period; those with initials are generally thought to date to the Post Medieval period, c. 1550-1800 AD.
