Description: | A complete Post Medieval to early Modern cast lead alloy circular uniface token. Powell Type 2. The token has been stampd with the lettesr 'WC' stamped into it; the reverse is blank. It measures 16.01 mm in diameter 2.17 mm thick and weighs 4.1 grams.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are thought to be Post Medieval (1550-1800 AD). Due to the style of lettering and the fact that it is stamped in this fashion, this particular token probably comes from the latter part of this date range and may date to between 1750-1850.
