A cast lead token of probable Post-Medieval date. It is circular in form with undecorated flat back face and moulded front face. The front face has a border of short rectangular strokes within which appears to be a very stylised figure facing right, apparently smoking a pipe(?). The object measures 27.54mm in diameter, 2.45mm in thickness and 10.05g in weight. This is a cast lead token of Post-Medieval date, probably belonging in the 17th to 18th centuries AD if not later.
