TOKEN
Unique ID: BERK-E8192F
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete lead alloy token or tally of post-medieval date. The token appears bifacial however the condition of survival makes it difficult to read one side; there may be initials, possibly an F or an E, however it is unclear. The other side has an indistinct pattern possibly a cobweb-type design or maybe a merchant's mark of crosses, lines and other geometric shapes. These tokens are thought to date from the post-medieval period, c. 1600-1750.
