TOKEN

Unique ID: SUSS-3B9E86

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A cast lead-alloy unifaced token dating to the Post Medieval period, c. 1550-1800 AD. Powell Type 2. The token is decorated on one face with uncertain letters, possibly a backwards-facing L and a regular L. The other face is undecorated.

Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, however tokens with initials or letters are given a general date of c. 1550-1800.

Class: Powell Type 2
