Description: | A Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface token, c. AD 1250-1800. The token is decorated on one side with a raised design meant to resemble a Medieval long cross penny, with a long cross with pellets at its ends and one pellet in each quadrant. The other side is undecorated. The token has been bent, probably from in situ damage. It measures 20.5 mm diameter, 3.9 mm thick and weighs 8.4 grams.Tokens were easy to make and distributed widely throughout a large period of time; therefore, they are difficult to date precisely. Those decorated to resemble Medieval long cross pennies continued to be circulated throughout both the Medieval and Post Medieval periods and a general date of c. AD 1250-1800 is given.
