It has a white-grey patina.Tokens with simple designs are very easy to make and continued in use for a long period. They have a huge range of designs which were not necessarily related to function and could have been used for various purposes such as counting, gaming, farm or tavern tokens or possibly even as weights.Diameter is 18.1mm, thickness is 4.8mm and weight is 5.43g.
