On the obverse of the object is a raised motif in the shape of an anchor with a pellet in the centre and to the left of the anchor. The reverse of the object has a raised geometric hatched pattern. The top of the token has been broken off.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: 5.8g.; Thickness: 2.48mm; Diameter: 26.69mm
