Description: | A worn and slightly bent lead alloy token or tally, probably dating from the 17th to 18th century AD. The token is roughly circular in plan and has chamfered edges on the underside. There is a grid pattern / cross hatching on the front while the reverse may have an image of an animal, however it is not clear and may just be wear. Powell Type 20. Edward Fletcher (2005:108) suggests that tokens with a grid pattern may be related to the harrowing of the fields or possibly to the game of chequers, which was popular with farm workers during the 17th and 18th centuries.
