Description: | A complete cast lead alloy token. The face of the token may have been stamped with an impression taken from a half-groat, which would date the token to the mid 17th century. The token is sub-circular in plan and sub-rectangular in section. The perimeter of the face of the token is slightly rimmed. The edge of the token is bordered with a circular band. At the centre is a faint impression of a left facing head. Although the surface is too worn to be certain, the impression is a similar size and design of a half groat of Charles I (1625-49). The reverse of the token is predominantly flat, with a cast, raised cross to one side. The token has a light grey / green patina. The surfaces of the token are worn, probably due to movement in the plough soil. A line of cracking along the centre of the token, suggests that the token may have been folded.Diameter: 21.53mm. Thickness: 2.10mm. Weight: 4.29g
