Description: | A complete lead or lead alloy token of Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1400 to AD 1800).The token is sub circular in shape. The obverse is divided into quarters by raised lines (Powell type 12, quartered geometric) and the reverse also has a design, though its interpretation is less clear. It has a central raised line dividing the field in hald. Each half is covered with straight lines running from the central line to the edge. This could depict a tree or leaf, or could have another meaning. It could fit into Powell type 34 (halved geometric) or 17 (trees and plants). Another token with a similar design is interpreted as a Tree: WMID-549381. SWYOR-D20556 is from the same area and may have been issued by the same individual.The token has a diameter of 15.8 mm and is 2.3 mm thick. It weighs 2.4g. It has a light grey patina.
