Description: | A post medieval lead alloy token probably dating to the 17th-18th century. The shape of the token is sub-circular, due to being miscast. There is a notch removed along the edge, probably due to damage rather than being intentional. One side depicts a diaper cross-hatched pattern within a linear border, the other depicts two vertical lines with a single horizontal line running through the centre, within a linear border. Both sides are in relief.Dimensions: diameter: 12.26mm ; weight: 1.16 g.Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval to Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, c. 1600-1800 as increasing numbers of dated tokens are found.
