Description: | A complete but worn cast lead token of medieval to post-medieval date. The design appears to be a spoked wheel on one face and the design on the other side is not clear and may simply be an unevenly cast surface.Tokens with simple designs are very easy to make and continued in use over a long period. They have a huge range of designs and could have been used for various purposes such as counting, gaming or possibly even as weights. A general date of circa 1400 - 1800 is commonly given for such objects without further contextual evidence to aid in more secure dating.
