TOKEN

Unique ID: IOW-8068B5

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

An incomplete cast lead circular double-sided token of post-Medieval to Modern date (c. 1500-c. 1850). The token has a raised design consisting of initial letters: E S on one side and I S on the other side. Each letter S is reversed. Diameter: 24.0mm; weight: 13.05g. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are thought to date c.1500-1850 AD.
