Description: | A Post-Medieval (1500-1850) lead token with raised decoration on both faces - a cross on one side with a pellet in each quarter, the initial D on the other. It measures 21.5mm in diameter and weighs 2.90g.Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such 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), 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. 1500-1850.
