TOKEN

Unique ID: SUSS-D43B74

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A worn and corroded uniface lead-alloy token of probable late Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1250-1800). It is decorated on one side with a flower formed of six petals (Powell type 1). The token has a moderately thin body with a flattened underside and uneven edges, and has a light grey-white patina.

Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and examples with simple designs could be Medieval to late Post Medieval in date (c. AD 1250-1800).
