Description: | A Post Medieval cast lead alloy token dating to c. AD 1550-1800. Powell Types 2 and 25. One face is decorated with a crude initial 'H'; the other side is decorated with what seems to be a crude royal style shield. Both sides have a raised circumferential edge, with further spillage over this edge, possibly a portion of the casting sprues that would have been normally removed. The token measures 3.4 mm thick, 23.3 mm in diameter and weighs 8.6 grams.Tokens were easy to manufacture and were often distributed widely over a long period of time; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, but those with initials are thought to date to the Post Medieval period.
