Description: | A Post Medieval lead token which has, on the bbverse the capital letters HW above the figure 2 and letter K. The reverse has an upside down "U" shape, a possibly bell, extending from the edge of the token into the centre. Within the "U" is a cross showing, in the upper two quarters, four pellets in a square. The third quarter is indistinct but appears to be an elongated pellet shape. The fourth quarter appears to be empty. Surrounding the "U" in a circle is a series of equally spaced pellets. This is an unusual token design and no direct comparison could be found, however the initials and the use of a numerial symbol followed by a K can be paralleled in Fletcher (2005:55), where a token displays the initials WB with 9K below. Although the use of these tokens is uncertain, as is the meaning of the 2K (the initials are presumably the issuer), they were in use between c. AD 1600-1799.
