Cast unifaced lead token. The token is decorated on one side with eight raised lines which radiate out from the centre, each of which is capped with a small ball. The other side is blank. The token is 20.94mm in diameter, 3.71mm thick and weighs 9.5g. Tokens with simple designs are very easy to make and continued in use for a long period, therefore a wide range of c. 1250-1800AD is given.
