Post medieval cast lead token. The token is 13.8mm in diameter, 2.8mm thick and weighs 3.1g. The token is decorated with the Capital letter A on one side and a line, possibly a number 1 on the other. These tokens can be produced easily and therefore difficult to date precisely but those with initials were mostly produced between 1500 and 1800 AD.
