Workflow stage: 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.

An incomplete Medieval silver halfpenny, of uncertain issuer, probably from HenryVI-VII. Mint Unknown. A full identification is difficult for this coin as most of the legend on both faces is illegible due to surface wear. The obverse depicts a simple crowned bust facing, with unembellished bust and defined lines to the hair; additionally, the obverse legend ends in REX, which is more common to this period than earlier rulers with the name of Henry.
