A cast lead alloy circular double-faced token of post-Medieval date (c. 1500-c. 1850).
The token has a raised design of a six-petalled flower motif on one side and raised initials: D R on the other side.
Diameter: 19.4mm; weight: 6.58g.
Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are generally thought to be post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD.
