TOKEN

A damaged circular cast lead token of late post-medieval date. On one face is a six-petalled flower in low relief within a border. On the other are initials: either 'C . A' or 'V . C (retrograde)'. These are also raised and within a border. Viewed in profile one can see that this artefact has been bent in a number of directions. This object is similar to a number of lead tokens illustrated in Read (2001, 135; fig. 89).
