Description: | A cast lead alloy uni-faced token of Medieval to Post Medieval date (Powell type 31). The token is circular and is decorated with two overlapping circles and a central pellet. The other side is plain and undecorated. The token is 18.52 mm in diameter, 2.55 mm thick and weighs 4.2 g. Lead tokens were easy to produce and widely circulated; they appear in the Medieval period and ones with simple decoration continued in use throughout both the Medieval and Post Medieval period. Therefore, a general date of c. 1250-1800 AD is suggested for this token.
