TOKEN

Unique ID: SUSS-16E7B6

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular uni-faced token (1500-1850 AD). On one side are the raised initials H K, with 8 dots around the initials. The other side is blank. The token measures 16.7mm in diameter, 2.1mm thick and weighs 3.05grams. 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).
