status: Awaiting validation 
A complete cast lead or lead alloy circular double-sided token of post-Medieval to Modern date (c. 1500-c. 1850). The token has raised initial letters on one face: T C (in reverse) and a raised motif on the other side. Diameter: 19.9mm; weight: 3.64g. 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.
