The reverse face is flat and undecorated.It measures 19.2 mm in diameter, 1.9 mm thick and weighs 5.7 grams.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely and tokens with simple designs could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date (1250-1850 AD).
