Description: | A post medieval lead alloy token probably dating to the 17th century. The token is biface with a fragment of the casting sprue still attached. Both sides are decorated with cross-hatching around a central rectangular panel containing two initials. On one side there is "TC" on the other side there is "AH".Dimensions: diameter: 22.79mm; weight: 8.04g.Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be medieval to post medieval in date (AD1250-1800). Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. Those with initials are thought to be post medieval, AD1550-1800. A similar token with the initials "TC" is recorded on the PAS database LON-595E3A, the finder of that token notes the presence of other tokens from the foreshore also with the initials "TC".
