A complete cast lead or lead alloy circular double-sided token of post-Medieval to Modern date (c. 1500-c. 1850). The token has scratched initial letters on both faces: T on one side and H on the other. Diameter: 17.2mm; weight: 5.39g. 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 date c.1500-1850 AD.
