Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A lead alloy token dating from the post-medieval period. The token is unifaced and appears to have been made in a mould as there is the remains of a spur on one edge of the token. The face of the token depict a circle of six pellets arranged around a central pellet. The reverse is plain. This style of token is not as common as some post-medieval tokens; this example may be slightly earlier and a general post-medieval date is offered, c. AD 1500-1750.
