A Medieval to Modern circular unifaced lead token (c. 1250-c. 1850 AD).
It has a raised design on one side consisting of a regular grid pattern. The other side is flat and plain. Diameter: 18.74mm. Weight: 5.11g.
Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval to Modern in date (1250-1850 AD).
