Description: | A possible uniface lead token: The token is a sub-circular in plan. The token carries a design of a petalled flower. The reverse is undecorated. The surface is an oxidised cream. The token measures 18.75mm diameter max, and weighs 4.2g.Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as use as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, 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.1500-1850. This can be classified as a Powell Type 1.
