Description: | Post Medieval cast lead-alloy bifaced token of Powell type 2 / Powell type 8 (c. AD 1500-1800). The token is square in shape, but has two rounded corners, one of which is chipped. On one face, at an angle to the edge, the token has a raised design of the letters T B with a star between them and a pellet below. Where the edges are less worn there is the remainder of a stamped border. On the other side, at a 45% angle to the TB , are the numbers 22 with an offset vertical line between them. The token is 21.5mm by 22.1mm, 2.3mm thick and weighs 6.00gLead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are generally thought to be Post Medieval in date. Those with numbers are often agricultural or other piece work checks.
