Description: | An incomplete lead alloy unifaced token, of Medieval to Post Medieval dating (AD 1300 to AD 1600).The token is sub circular in shape. Both the obverse and reverse are heavily worn and it is hard to determine any original pattern or decoration.The token has a diameter of 18.3 mm, and is 2.2 mm thick. It weighs 2.1 g.The token is a mid grey colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of most of the original surface detail.Lead tokens are a frequently occurring find, with a variety of different designs. Tokens like this, were used as tallies or as replacement low denomination coinage during the Medieval and Post Medieval periods.
