Description: | A Post Medieval incomplete cast biface circular lead alloy token. The token is decorated on the obverse side with a capital letter 'B' and the other with a simple pellet in the centre. The token is 22.0mm in diameter, 3.4mm thick and weighs 6.7grams. The circumference of the token seems to have been either miscast slightly or left untrimmed as a large portion of the circumference has an irregular edge. Lead tokens with simple designs are very easy to make and continued in use for a long period; those with initials, letters or numbers are generally thought to date to the Post Medieval period, c. 1550-1800 AD.
