Description: | A complete lead alloy token or medallion of Modern date (AD 1800-1900). The object is a cast circular disk, with a raised design on each side and an upper, sub-rectangular tab or suspension loop. The design is composed of a crowned figure facing left surrounded by pellets in circles, the reverse design consists of an inner linear boarder with four groups of three pellets and a second linear boarder and an outer circular of pellets within circles.Suck medallions are linked to Billy Smith ad Charles Eaton who it has been suggested produced forgeries of various Medieval type artefacts in London during the Mid-1800's. It is likely they produced around 10,000 such objects, potentially more, during their careers.See: http://www.mernick.org.uk/B&C/page1.htm for more information.Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme Database: DENO-546A98, FASAM-4B8C77 and FASAM-4BD554 w
