Description: | A complete lead token of post medieval date (AD 1550-1850). The object is sub-circular in plan and flat in section. On the obverse of the object is a raised motif in the shape of an anchor. On either side of the anchor is a raised pellet. The reverse of the object has a raised geometric pattern. It is divided into quarters by raised lines and each half has an outward facing circular arc.Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely.Weight: 2.3g.; Thickness: 2.16mm; Diameter: 16.51mm
