Post Medieval cast lead-alloy uni-face circular token, 1500-1850 AD. The token has raised initial G on one side. The reverse is plain. The token measures 18.7 mm in diameter, 1.6 mm thick, and weighs 2.66 grams. Lead tokens were locally made and had a wide variety of uses; they are therefore hard to date precisely but those with initials are thought to be Post Medieval in date.
