Description: | A Post Medieval complete cast lead alloy circular token. Powell Type 2 and 8. The obverse of the token has the letters GCand the number 5stamped into the reverse. It measures 17.94mmin diameter, 2.32mmthick and weighs 5.5grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely but those with initials are thought to be Post Medieval in date, c. 1550-1800AD. The style of the font suggests that this token is from the latter half of this period, perhaps dating to the early Modern period.
