Description: | A complete uniface lead token of Post-Medieval date. The token is roughly circular in plan. The reverse of the token is undecorated. The obverse has the possible initials 'J L', but they are very faint. The token has been bent at some point, and there is now a crack running along the reverse of the token. The metal is a mid-grey to brown colour. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, however tokens with initials or letters are given a general date of c. 1550-1800.It weighs 5.66g, is 20.18mm in diameter and is 2.92mm thick.
