Description: | A Medieval - Post Medieval lead alloy uniface token, dating c. 1250 - 1800. Powell Type 14. This token has a moulded pattern comprising a long cross with three pellets in each quarter within a linear border. The reverse is blank.Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval to Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). Cross and pellet designs were originally thought to be contemporary with similar Medieval coin designs; however publication of moulds and double faced tokens which combine Post Medieval initial style designs with cross and pellets suggest they continued to be used throughout the Post Medieval period. The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, c. 1600-1800 as increasing numbers of dated tokens are found.Similar tokens are published on the PAS database e.g. DENO-AB2370 and LON-8D3C14.Dimensions: diameter: 17.92mm; weight: 3.37g.
