Description: | A complete lead token of post medieval date (AD 1550-1850). The object is circular in plan and slightly bent in section. On the obverse of the object is a raised motif in the shape of an anchor. There is a raised pellet in the centre of the anchor. The reverse of the object has a raised geometric pattern. It is divided into quarters by raised lines with a central pellet. Each half has three outward facing circular arcs, which decrease in size toward the outer rim.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: 7.9g; Thickness: 5.06mm; Diameter: 24.12mm
