Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular unifaced token. On one side are the raised initials, 'Ic' or 'Io', the other side is blank. The token measures 16.1mm in diameter, 2.7mm thick and weighs 3.44 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).
