Description: | A cast lead alloy Post Medieval token of Elizabeth I, probably dating to c. AD 1574. The obverse depicts a double-eagle with no legend; the reverse depicts a crowned rose with E R at side with a an unclear legend. Cf. North 1991 Vol II, p. 140, no. 2062. The circumferential edge from 12-4 o'clock on the obverse has been damaged with irregular breaks and the lower part of the token as been broken away.According to North (1991, Vol II, p. 140), it is likely that rather than being used as tokens, these objects were probably used as political medalets or counters, with earlier versions relating to Mary. However, this type is listed as relating to Elizabeth
