Cast lead alloy biface token probably of Powell type 28. The token is discoidal with a design on both faces. The obverse design comprises a raised inset circle from which regularly spaced angled straight lines extend all around the rim to the outside edge of the token. There appears to be a further part of the design within the circle but it cannot be resolved. The design on the reverse is less distinct but may infact be a version of the obverse. A small tab projects from the outside edge of the token which is probably a sprue remnant. Post Medieval circa 1550-1850 AD. Dimensions; Diameter 19.4mm, thickness 2.76mm, weight 5.1g.
