Description: | A medieval - post medieval lead alloy unifaced token. The shape of the token is irregular. The device appears to be a feather or a leaf. It comprises a central vertical element with chevron lines aligned so the verical line runs down the centre. There is a red pigment present on both sides. It is unclear if this token was deliberately painted or if this is incidental.Dimensions: diameter: 16.19mm; weight: 3.32g.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.
