Description: | A cut fragment of a medieval to modern (c. 1250-1850) apparently uniface cast lead circular token. The fragment is probably around one third of the original token and has been cut in a single line with one straight edge and one curved (original) edge.The reverse is undecorated with a raised edge. The obverse has the remains of two points of a star or petals of a flower, one of which is a raised triangle (at the centre) while the other is a V-shaped raised rib (to one side). A further raised point/ petal may survive to the other side but this is now very worn and hardley discernable.It measures 20.7mm in length, 8.0mm in width, 2.9mm in thickness and weighs 2.03g. Its estimated original diameter is c.22mm.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and could be medieval to modern in date (c. 1250-1850).
