Description: | A Post Medieval biface lead alloy token dating from c. AD 1550-1800. Powell Type 2, 18. The first face of the coin seems to bear the initials 'STS', where the T is positioned in between the S initials and is decidedly smaller. The other face is unclear, but seems to depict a bird, probably a chicken or rooster, with its head and body facing left, with beak and a small pellet visible on its breast, with one remaining visible simple leg with three toes. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were distributed widely over a long period of time; they are therefore difficult to date precisely but those with initials or dates are generally given a Post Medieval date.
