Description: | A Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy unifaced token of Powell Type 14. The token is decorated on one face with a cross and a pellet in each quarter; the other face is undecorated. The token measures 17.45 mm diameter at the widest point and is 2.31 mm thick and weighs 5.05 grams.Lead tokens were easy to produce and widely circulated. Those with simplistic cross and pellet designs are thought to mimic Medieval long cross pennies, but seem to still be used and circulated throughout the Post Medieval period as well. Therefore, a general date of c. 1250-1800 AD is suggested for this token.
