TOKEN

Unique ID: SUSS-93F124

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface token, c. 1550-1800 AD. One face of the token is decorated with the initials 'GR'; the other side is plain.

Lead tokens were easy to manufacture and circulated widely; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, but those with initials are thought to generally date to the Post Medieval period.
