Description: | A post medieval lead alloy token dating to the 17th century. One side depicts a mounted horse. The other depicts the letters D and M and S above. There are two foliate branches that interlace with trefoil terminals on either side of the S. A beaded border runs around the edge of the side with lettering.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. This arrangement of letters is very similar to the trade tokens which date AD1648-1674.Dimensions: diameter: 15.67 mm; weight: 3.30g.
