Description: | Cast lead alloy jetton or similar object. One side shows a head facing left. The reverse has a ring a triangular indentations with a heavily incused inscription - T IIII - and a cruder incused inscription of XIIR and a kite pattern - the latter kite mark might be imitating a Norse rune. It is quite possible that this piece was manufactured by 'Billy and Charley' in London in the 19th century AD. 'Billy and Charlies' were produced to deceive, purporting to be earlier medieval or ancient objects. This piece is almost certainly from the same source as FASAM-4BD554 which share similar inscriptions.
