Description: | A Post-Medieval, AD1650-1800, lead Token. Weight is 7.78g, diameter is 20.87mm, thickness is 3.56mm. One side shows a tree with a pellet either side of the trunk. The other side of the token shows an unidentified symbol/design formed of a sub-oval central blob (possibly a forward facing head or a shield) and six irregularly placed projecting lines, some straight - some bent, some of which have expanded blob-like terminals. Below this design two symbols resembling the letters AF or possibly but less likely AT or AP is present (at the c. 6 o'clock position as seen in the attached image). Preceeding the AF is a star = *AF. The designs on both surfaces are in relief from the objects surface plane. This object was turned on a 12 o'clock die axis to be photographed as the correct positioning was uncertain. See PAS record SUR-5D9313 for a similar example.The dark colour of this artefact is due to it having been soaked in olive oil by the finder.
