A complete Post Medieval cast lead circular uni-faced token. The token has a raised design of the initials JP on one side, the other side is blank. It is 15.59mm in diameter, 2.37mm thick and weighs 4 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.
