Lead alloy bi-faced Post Medieval token. The token is discoidal with a slightly raised peripheral border. On one face there is an unclear raised design that could be opposed shields similar to that used on some late 17th-18th century silver coinage but it could equally be a crude representation of the sails of a windmill. The other face has the appearance of a narrow head facing left. Circa 1550-1800 AD.
