Description: | Lead alloy possible Medal fragment. Cast flat fragment bearing a stamped or milled motif on one side only. This may be an heraldic shield with straight sides, lightly engrailed top, and possibly bears a motif of paired sprigs. There is now one curved edge, though this is itself fractured. The object resembles a range of cheap commemorative medals and medallions, most commonly and widely issued for Royal Jubilees, but also as commemorative pieces. However, these usually bear long inscriptions, whereas this fragment does not appear to bear any part of a legend. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1901.Length: 26mm, Width: 22mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 5.58gms.
