Description: | An incomplete lead alloy unifaced token, of Medieval to Post Medieval dating (AD 1400 to AD 1800).The token is sub circular in shape. The obverse design is unclear but probably depicts either a flower or a feathered design (Powell type uncertain). The reverse is plain and undecorated. The token has been cut in half.The token has a diameter of 28.5 mm, is 17.8 mm wide and is 4.4 mm thick. It weighs 10.8 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 some 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.
