Uni-faced cast lead token of later medieval or post-medieval date (1450-1800). The token is broadly circular in plan and slight distorted through bending. The upper face is decorated with a cast design of a stylised bird standing within a border decorated with radial ribs. The bird is relatively crude with slight beak, wing case and also feet depicted, from the style of the feet it is possible that the bird is a duck. The reverse is plain flat and undecorated.
The token measures 24.0mm diameter is 2.7mm thick, and weighs 7.17 grams.
