Description: | A small and probably incomplete lead alloy token of probable post-medieval date. The token is bifacial; one face is has the initials I P, probably the issuer, while the other has a trident or pitchfork design. The use of these objects is still debated, they may be trade or tally pieces or some may be game pieces. It appears that this example would fall in to the former catagory; the pitchfork may indicate the issuer's trade, for example farming. This token probably dates from the 16th or 17th century AD.
