TOKEN

Unique ID: SUSS-344C52

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An incomplete Medieval or Post Medieval complete cast lead alloy uniface token, c. 1250-1800 AD. Possibly Powell Type 2, otherwise illegible simple design. One face is decorated a raised design which might either be a crude initial 'K' or 'R' or an illegible simple design; the other face is undecorated.

Lead tokens were easy to manufacture and used throughout a large period of time; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, but those with initials or dates seem to date to between c. 1550-1800 and those with simple designs are given a larger range of c. 1250-1800.

Class: Powell Type 2
