Cast lead circular unifaced token. The token has a raised design of the capital letters PB on one side, with a pellet between the initials; there is a short straight line leading from the pellet to the edge. The reverse is blank. It is 20.1mm in diameter, 1.4mm thick and weighs 3.76 grams. 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 to c.1500-1850 AD.
