TOKEN 975939

Description: A possible Medieval to Post Medieval Lead token, probably dating to AD 1250-1800. The token is sub-circular and unusually large and crude, with an irregular uniface design. The design depicted on the decorated face is of three raised, segmented sub-rectangles, suggestive of bodies with heads, with two lines diverging out from each, suggestive of legs. The arced edge of one quarter segment is missing. Diameter 26.4mm; weight 16.4g. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date.

Date: 1250 - 1800
