Description: | A fragment of a cast lead alloy sheet probably Medieval to Post Medieval dating to c. AD 1250-1800. The sheet was probably a blank for making tokens. It has the imprint of two circular tokens on the internal edge.. The sheet is of a greyish-white colour. It is possible that the sheet may have been circular in shape. It measures 58.7mm long, 36.8mm wide, 2.4mm thick and weighs 29.45 grams..Lead alloy tokens were easy to make and widely distributed over a long period of time. Therefore, a sheet of this nature may have been a quick and slightly cruder way to produce these and as such may date to either the Medieval or Post Medieval periods.
