An undatable, but possibly Post-Medieval (1500-1700), uniface lead token cut roughly circular and measuring 13-14mm in diameter. Weighs 1.77g.
Obverse: Cross pattée
Although no exact parallel could be found during an initial search, the token looks rather like a miniature communion wafer, so a tentative religious connection is suggested, and if so, it could be possibly 16th or 17th century in date.
