Description: | Approximately quarter of a lead alloy token or possible seal, likely of post-medieval date. The remaining fragment depicts what appears to be a robed and laureate bust right, in the style of Georgian kings. A partial legend around the outer edge of the token appears to read '... E N T ...', (REGENT?), however the legend is too fragmentary to decipher. The reverse of the token is plain and undecorated. Although similar lead tokens were issued in the medieval period (for example the 'boy bishop' tokens) and during the reign of Elizabeth I (AD 1558-1603), the image here appears to be much later, and it is possible that this is a fragment of a Georgian-era (AD 1727-1820) token, seal or possibly even a game piece.
