Post Medieval cast lead-alloy circular double-faced token. The token has a raised design of the initials RP within a plain line border on one side. The other side has a short raised line, possibly part of an I or 1 again with a plain line border. It is 22.8mm in diameter, 3.6mm thick and weighs 9.17 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 generally thought to be Post Medieval in date, c.1500-1850 AD.
