Description: | A lead alloy post-medieval token or tally. The token is bifacial, with one face showing a grid or chequered pattern, possibly representing plough lines, while the other face has the initials ES, with the S back-to-front. These tokens are common finds in the countryside although their function remains enigmatic - they may be gaming pieces or agricultural tallies. This type of token generally dates to the 17th century, with evidence of continuation of use into the 18th century AD.
