Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular unifaced token (1500-1850 AD). The token has been cast with a raised design on the obverse and a flat, undecorated reverse. The raised design on the front consists of the initials I L in reverse. It measures 19.01mm in diameter, 2.72mm thick and weighs 6.1 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 be Post Medieval in date (1500-1850 AD).
