Description: | Probable Post Medieval cast lead uniface token. The token carries a design consisting of linear ridges radiating from a central pellet. The reverse is undecorated. The surface is a matte mid grey coloured patina. The token measures 18.17mm diameter, 4.35mm thick and weighs 8.5g.Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely. Those carrying initials are generally deemed to be Post Medieval in date (1500-1850 AD), those which seem to mimic Medieval penny designs are deemed to be Medieval, the remainder which carry stylised designs remain difficult to date but the majority are probably Post Medieval in date c.1500-1800.
