Description: | A lead Post Medieval medallion, probably 19th century in date.It is circular in plan with decoration on both faces. The front face has a crowned bust facing left. He has long straight hair. The bust is inside a circle of dots. The reverse has a central circle, surrounded by concentric circles decorated alternately with a series of dots or split into segments by lines. There are two breaks on the outside edge which are at the 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock positions when the object is oriented with the bust upright. These could have formed a small suspension loop.This object is nearly identical to DUR-5706F4 which was found nearby. It is likely that they are both "Billy and Charley" Shadwell Dock forgeries which were designed and altered to look much older than they actually were.
