Description: | A lead alloy Medieval to Post Medieval token or possibly a crude gaming piece. It probaby dates from about 1200 - 1800. The token is oval and both faces are convex and there is a lump near the edge on the reverse meaning it cannot lie flat. It is also thicker than most tokens. One face is decorated with six ribs radiating from the centre forming a star and dividing the face into six segments. This design can be classifed as Powell Type 3. Compare SUSS-B5F877. The thickness and off centre design could suggest that the object is mis-cast, or is two mis-cast tokens squashed together. The patina is grey.
