Description: | A crudely lead alloy token, probably of Post-Medieval date, AD 1650 - 1850. It is roughly circular and both sides are inscribed or scratched with narrow lines in the form of an eight armed cross dividing the token into eight triangular segments. Tokens more normally have cast designed in relief. This design fits into Powell Class 3. There are no other markings or decoration. The token has a cream coloured patina. It is 19.6mm in diameter and 1.9mm thick. It weighs 4.17gm.Fletcher, in Leaden Tokens and Tallies Roman to Victorian (Greenlight Publishing, 2005) illustrates a token of this design as type 9 on page 105. Compare also SUSS-002434.
