Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Cast lead alloy circular possibly uni-faced token. The obverse of the token has a raised linear design in the form of an off centre cross with two chevrons pointing to the angles in each quarter. The reverse is uncertain as no image is supplied, likely to be uni-faced as a result. It is 18.5mm in diameter.
Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date (1250-1850 AD). It is a Powell type 5 token.
