Description: | A lead alloy (pewter) token of probably late medieval date. The token is bifacial. The reverse depicts a long cross with central pellet and one pellet in each cross quarter (probably influenced by the coinage). The obverse however is hard to decipher; the design conists of a box with five or six pellets and a central bar within, while the edges of the box appear to have other linears or smaller boxes attached, sometimes with a pellet or two beside them. What this design represents is unclear. The style of the token and the presence of the cross and pellet design suggests a 14th or 15th century date.
