Description: | Three complete cast lead alloy tokens of Medieval to post medieval date.1) The design is .B. (an initial B with a pellet to either side) - Dimensions: Diameter - 17.11mm, Thickness - 1.72mm, Weight - 3.2g2) The design is in high relief depicting a long cross with a single pellet in each angle and a raised pellet boss at the centre of the cross - Dimensions: Diameter - 21.99mm, Thickness - 4.65mm, Weight - 10.6g.3) The design probably shows a fleur-de-lys, the lozengeiform outline on the reverse is probably from the casting process and not part of the design. Dimensions: Diameter - 19.76mm, Thickness - 3.25mm, Weight - 7.7g.Lead tokens & weights are very difficult to date when found out of context and these items are therefore dated broadly c.1250-1800 pending better research into such artefacts. It is thought likely that the majority date from the Medieval to early post Medieval era.
