Description: | A lead-alloy 'Boy bishop' token, dating from the Late Medieval to early post-Medieval periods.The token is sub-circular and is decorated on both sides. The obverse design is that of a Bishop's mitre, with an indecipherable legend (probably 'SANCTVS NICHOLAVS') surrounding. The reverse bears the standard long-cross penny design, with three pellets in each quarter and the legend 'AVE/[REX]/G[EN/TIS]' around the perimeter.Dimensions: 18.3mm diameter, 0.9mm thick. Weight: 1.61g.For a discussion of the Medieval Boy bishop custom, see BH-0FC064. This token is significant in that it is one of three very similar examples from the same findspot, the others being the aforementioned record and BH-0FC4B6.
